Not expecting much from this other than game time for young / fringe players, which will be the main interest.
Clearly Pep not bothered. Newcastle will be taking this far more seriously and it would be a shock if they didn't progress.
I wouldn't be too sure Newcastle will take it seriously as you think. Don't forget they have CL games coming thick and fast and they aren't easy ones
They haven't won a trophy since the 50s. They got to the final last year and blew it. They probably feel they have unfinished business in this comp, plus it's their most realistic opportunity to get a trophy.
I can see them pitting out a strong side.
