Everton will entertain Newcastle in the Carabao Cup’s fourth round.
A solitary goal from Charly Alcaraz ensured David Moyes’ side edged past Championship newcomers Wolves in Wednesday’s third round encounter.
The Blues’ reward for reaching the competition’s next stage is another outing at Hill Dickinson Stadium against the Magpies on the week commencing October 26.
Matthias Jaissle’s side booked their place in the fourth round courtesy of a late Joe Willock strike against Millwall, having also pipped West Brom in Round Two.
Remarkably, this will be the second time that the Magpies have faced Everton in the competition with their only prior meeting coming in the third round back in 2002.
Moyes’ side scored through Kevin Campbell and Steve Watson but a two-minute suckerpunch from Kieron Dyer saw the St James’ Park clash head to extra time.
An Alexander Pistone own goal tipped the balance in the hosts’ favour before David Unsworth levelled things up from the penalty spot and Everton won the shootout 3-2.
