Personnel changes could be in store given the quick turnaround, and after three successive substitute appearances in the top flight, summer signing Igor Thiago may very well make his first start in the competition at the tip of the hosts' attack.
Newcastle's own number nine Alexander Isak was a fitness doubt before the Liverpool draw after coming off early against Crystal Palace, but the Swede was able to complete the full 90 in midweek, prolonging Callum Wilson's wait for a start up front.
Kieran Trippier was the only new absentee for the Magpies on Wednesday due to an illness, making him a doubt for the trip to West London too, while Sven Botman (knee), Jamaal Lascelles (knee) and Emil Krafth (shoulder) are still unavailable
Match predictions: The Bees have been irresistible at home, while Newcastle continue to be inconsistent, so we're forecasting a home win: Brentford 2-1 Newcastle United.
