The Magpies will face Nottingham Forest - who beat Burnley 1-0 on Wednesday to book their place in the fourth round - at Kingston Park (kick-off 1pm GMT) as they bid to go one step further than they did in 2023/24 and reach the fifth round.

A couple of Forest players could make their returns to Tyneside this weekend, with Naomi Bedeau and Bridget Galloway - two players who helped the Magpies win promotion to the Barclays Women's Championship last term - in line to face their former club.

Becky Langley's side, who haven't played since their League Cup defeat at Manchester United a month ago, trained indoors at United's first team training centre in Benton on Thursday, and Harriet Massey was there to bring newcastleunited.com this gallery.
