These two clubs will meet for the first time ever; Newcastle are seeking to avoid a fourth FA Cup third round exit in just five seasons, while Bromley will face Premier League opposition for the first time in their 133-year history.
Newcastle United vs Bromley Preview
After a famous victory in one cup competition on Wednesday, will Newcastle United keep alive their dreams of winning the FA Cup for the first time in 70 years? In mid-week, goals from Alexander Isak and then Anthony Gordon saw the Magpies beat Arsenal 2-0 in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final. Of course, there is a return tie to come at St James' in February but, considering 29 of the 31 sides who've previously won the first leg of a League Cup semi away from home have gone onto reach the final, supporters can surely start planning for a trip to Wembley. Overall, Eddie Howe's side have now won seven straight games across all competitions, with five successive league victories propelling them up to fifth, hence why most expect the Toon Army to have another victory to celebrate here.
As for Bromley, this is their first-ever season competing in the Football League, also getting through to the FA Cup third round for the first time ever; their previous best run in this tournament saw them get to round two, but this was 79 years ago. The Ravens have made history thanks to away wins over both Rochdale and the Solihull Moors, rewarded with a trip to the Premier League's form team. Meantime, in EFL League Two, Andy Woodman's side had been enjoying a 12-game unbeaten run, prior to a 4-1 hammering at Crewe Alexandra last Sunday, but are still 12th, which would be an impressive finish for the newly-promoted outfit. So now, can Bromley become only the third team to beat Newcastle at St James' in any competition the last 12 months? Seems unlikely.

Newcastle United Team News
The games are coming thick and fast for Eddie Howe's team at the moment, so surely he'll make changes to his team for this one. After both Fabian Schär and Bruno Guimarães were suspended on Tuesday, the pair will surely return to the team. Meantime, in goal, with Nick Pope still sidelined, Martin Dúbravka has been deputising although, with the Slovakian linked with a move to Saudi Arabia, could Odysseas Vlachodimos add to his mere 45 minutes in a Newcastle shirt so far? Lloyd Kelly, Matt Targett, Miguel Almirón and William Osula, who've all seen game-time limited, will be hoping for rare starts, while 18-year-old Lewis Miley is set to be included in a lineup for the first time since March following a broken metatarsal.
Newcastle United predicted lineup vs Bromley: (4-3-3): Vlachodimos; Trippier, Schär, Kelly, Targett; Longstaff, Guimarães, Miley; Almirón, Barnes, Osula.
Newcastle United Player to Watch vs Bromley
Anthony Gordon's form means Harvey Barnes has started only two Premier League matches since October but, expected to get the nod here, can he stake claim for a more regular starting spot?
Newcastle United vs Bromley Prediction
We're forecasting an emphatic Newcastle victory on Sunday, a win that'll only continue the feel-good factor that is simmering on Tyneside: Newcastle United 4-0 Bromley.
