Chris Sutton now predicts what the score will be when Bromley face Newcastle United at St James' Park on Sunday

Newcastle United are in cup action again this weekend as League Two Bromley travel to St James' Park for the FA Cup third round. The tie is live on BBC with a 3pm Kick-off on Sunday.

Eddie Howe's men are unstoppable right now but we've struggled once against League Two opposition this season, and we're no strangers to being dumped out of the cup by lower-league opponents, so we still have to treat Bromley with respect.

That being said, we're anticipating a raft of changes by Howe, perhaps even an entirely different starting XI after the gaffer gave his charges some time off after the 2-0 win over Arsenal on Tuesday.

Howe said that the triple substitution in the second half was because Sven Botman and Alexander Isak had niggles, so we expect they'll be given Sunday off entirely.

Chris Sutton sees nothing but a Newcastle United win

Chris Sutton also believes Eddie Howe will make changes, but that hasn't stopped him from going big with his score prediction for the BBC.

"It is a long way from Bromley to Newcastle but this is a great tie for them, even if they are going to end up being beaten.

"Newcastle have won seven in a row in all competitions now and while Isak and Anthony Gordon are understandably getting a lot of attention, I've been really impressed by Jacob Murphy

"Eddie Howe will make lots of changes but I don't see it making any difference.

"Sutton's prediction: 3-0"

Eddie Howe will have strong reinforcements on the bench

Whatever team Eddie Howe puts out should have enough about them to defeat Bromley, as long as they take it seriously, but we're sure Howe will have a few regulars on the bench just in case.

Bruno Guimaraes had a night off when Newcastle played Arsenal so he is likely to be on the bench to come on and make a difference if the current crop are struggling.

Wouldn't it just be the most Newcastle United thing ever if lowly Bromley ended our winning streak?
