The Magpies travel to the Hill Dickinson Stadium [kick-off 7:45pm GMT] aiming to reach the quarter-finals of the competition for a fifth successive season and target back-to-back away wins following Sunday's 2-0 triumph at Crystal Palace.

Backed by over 7,700 away fans for the midweek trip to Merseyside, Jaissle revealed Miley and Fernandez-Pardo could miss the fourth round tie but remains determined to "go all in" as the club bid to win a second League Cup title in their last three campaigns.

Here are some of the boss' main talking points from Tuesday afternoon's pre-match media briefing, held at The KNOX Media Centre...

On Miley and Fernandez-Pardo's availability...

"These two players are still doubtful. Question marks on if they can make it [for Thursday night]. We need to see step-by-step over the next two days to decide if they're able to be in the squad or not.

"With both of them, we don't want to take any additional risk and, hopefully, they are getting back soon."

On team selection, with United facing Everton in the Premier League four days after their cup encounter...

"Due to the history for the club in that competition, I have the same approach - to play with the best possible line-up.

"We are getting huge support again in an away match. It is really special, during the week, that will we have 8,000 fans with us, taking the journey to support us.

"It shows the importance about that competition and we will also be aligned with that and go all in. The fans have huge expectations and they have that taste now with winning the competition."

On the appointment of Tomás Amaral as the club's new Head of First Team Recruitment...

"It's always good to improve things and Ross [Wilson] is the responsible guy and leading that department. It's always good for experts to have fresh energy and we're looking forward to working together.

"Like it was in the last couple of days in the [summer] transfer window, it's a pure and clear alignment between everyone involved.

"As a coach, you thrive for high expectations when it comes to signings."

On Sunday's win at Selhurst Park...

"We were doing the simple things a bit better in the second half. We emphasised, like always at half-time, the potential and what we can improve in our game.

"We had a more offensive mindset after ball wins and improved in possession with our structure. Now, it's time to build on that. We have shown a solid performance and deserved that win."

On Tino Livramento...

"I don't want to put too much pressure on him but also the medical department. That is usually my approach when it comes to injuries.

"I can just assure you that I see him everyday with a great professionalism in his rehab, hard-working, so hopefully we have him back soon and that he is stable in his approach when he is joining us."

On last night's Under-21s win over Sunderland at St. James' Park, with the young Magpies coming from behind twice to claim a 3-2 win...

"It was nice. First of all, I'm happy for the young lads getting the opportunity to feel and taste a little bit of that atmosphere.

"It should give them that vision of where they want to be in the future, playing in a full stadium. They did a great job."
