Latest Huddersfield vs Newcastle U21 squad information
Joe Taylor, who came off the bench to score a consolation goal in the defeat to Barnsley, is likely to be handed a starting place in the next match.
Grant could also rotate his squad for the league clash with Peterborough, with Leo Castledine, David Kasumu and Lasse Sorensen all set to start.
In goal, there will certainly be a change as first-choice goalkeeper Owen Goodman is suspended following a red card in the previous game, giving Lee Nicholls a chance to start.
For Newcastle U21s, Sean Neave – who has scored in three of their first four games of the season – is almost certain to start. After their opening Premier League 2 draw against Birmingham, the visitors are likely to stick with the same line-up against Huddersfield.
Latest Huddersfield vs Newcastle U21 expected lineup

Latest Huddersfield vs Newcastle U21 football prediction
Huddersfield Town endured a difficult first season back in League One last year, finishing 10th and 14 points adrift of the play-off places, including a disappointing run of six straight defeats towards the end.
New manager Lee Grant has helped Huddersfield make a much more positive start to the season, with four wins and two defeats from six league games. They have also overcome Leicester City and Sunderland on penalties to reach the third round of the EFL Cup.
Those results took Huddersfield up to sixth in League One, a position they will hope to maintain until the end of the season, with a view to a return to the Championship.
However, Huddersfield lost 1-3 to Barnsley in their most recent match, and they will be determined to get back to winning ways when they host Newcastle U21 in midweek.
The home side are favourites, as their opponents – Newcastle U21 – have not won a 90-minute match in the EFL Trophy since 2018-19.
The “Young Magpies” also had a terrible start to the 2025-26 season, losing two, drawing one and winning only one after the first four matches.
Newcastle's only win came in their opening game against Gateshead in the National League Cup, with Cathal Heffernan scoring in the 90th minute to make it 4-3. Since then, they have lost 2-1 to Southampton U21, suffered a humiliating defeat to Chelsea U21 (0-5) and were lucky to draw 2-2 with Birmingham U21 thanks to a 91st-minute equaliser.
