So what are the chances ofRochdale stunning the Toon like Hereford United did back in 2209?On the face of it, they’ve got a job on their hands. Newcastle might be struggling in the Premier League right now, having lost three of their last four matches, but the Dale have lost three of their last four too, and those in League One. Additionally, today’s hosts have only beaten a top-flight side once in 18 FA Cup ties, against Coventry City back in 2019. ************
However, the third round of the FA Cup is the third round of the FA Cup, and so hope is never lost. For a start, Newcastle have only won one of their last (away fixtures in the************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** FA Cup. Goliath might not be that confident when he comes to town. And any trepidation they feel will surely be ramped up when they remember Rochdale’s brave performance at Old Trafford four months ago – they held Manchester United to a 1-1 draw in the League Cup before going out on penalties – and the Dale’s 2-2 draw with Spurs in the fifth round of this competition back in 2018. These minnows have form as botherers supreme.
Can the Dale pull off a shock?
Or will Newcastle prevail as they dream of winning the famous old competition for the first time since 1955? We’ll find out soon enough. It’s on!
