WEDNESDAY night's Carabao Cup draw saw a little-spotted change that may explain why Manchester United got yet another home tie.<\/p>\n
The Red Devils set a new record by landing a 12th home cup tie in a row after drawing Newcastle in the fourth-round of the EFL competition.<\/p>\n

United will face the\u00a0Magpies\u00a0at Old Trafford – who they beat in the Carabao Cup final last term.<\/p>\n
Despite Eddie Howe's side's 1-0 victory against eight-time EFL Cup winners Manchester City at St James' Park Newcastle fans were ragging.<\/p>\n
They were fuming with their fourth-round fixture and a slight change in the draw could be the reason for it.<\/p>\n
The draw was conducted by SkySports presenter Emma Saunders, Celtic legend Neil Lennon and former Sunderland man Don Goodman.<\/p>\n
In the second and third-round draws the person on the left drew the home teams and the right did the away teams.<\/p>\n But last night it was ex-Bhoys star Lennon who standing on the right drew the home sides as he pulled out Man Utd No4 to hand them another home game.<\/p>\n The tie meant United set a new record for drawing the most home ties.<\/p>\n The odds of the record happening, drawing 12 home ties in a row is 4,096\/1 – and left many wondering if the small tweak to the draw could explain why Man Utd will host once again.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n FREE BETS – BEST BETTING OFFERS AND BONUSES NEW CUSTOMERS<\/strong><\/p>\n Man Utd's extraordinary run of home fixtures dates back to a defeat at Leicester in March 2021.<\/p>\n United's only domestic cup match to be played away from Old Trafford in the last three years was a two-legged Carabao Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest as well as a semi-final and final in the FA Cup at Wembley.<\/p>\n They will now battle Newcastle in the week commencing October 30 for a place in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals. <\/p>\n<\/picture>shear-ful <\/span><\/p>\n
