Newcastle United manager Matthias Jaissle has indicated that the team will field its strongest lineup for the Carabao Cup match against Everton, according to a report by NUFC Blog. Jaissle emphasized the importance of the competition and the large following of 8,000 Newcastle fans traveling to Merseyside. The team comes off a 2-0 win over Crystal Palace, boosting their confidence. Jaissle's approach is driven by the club's history in the competition.

While Jaissle prioritizes selecting the strongest team, he noted that Newcastle could make some changes based on player fitness and recovery. The team's last match saw several changes, with players like Burn, Schar, and Osula coming in for Thiaw, Botman, and Wissa. Lewis Miley and Matias Fernandez-Pardo are currently doubtful due to a hamstring issue and illness, respectively. Elanga and Ramsey are pushing to start after recovering from recent injuries.

Newcastle's Carabao Cup quarter-final spot is at stake against Everton, who have not won in three games since the international break, including scoreless defeats to Arsenal and Chelsea. Everton is generally tough to beat at home, having won three of their last five matches at the Hill Dickinson without conceding. Newcastle's recent win over Crystal Palace was a welcome boost after a difficult run of results, and they look to build on that momentum.
