It’s all on the line tonight as the Magpies face Arsenal in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final!
We currently hold a 2-0 advantage from the first leg, thanks to goals from Gordon and Isak.
However, after defeat against Fulham, the lad will need to be back at their best to see off an in-form Arsenal side.
Arteta is looking for his team to “try something different” in order to overcome the deficit and will almost certainly be looking for an early goal.
A win or a draw will be enough to see Newcastle through to the final but St James’ will need to be an absolute fortress.
Eddie has also emphasized the importance of the home crowd, stating that “We’ve become a really potent team together and that is what we are going to need in this game.”
There's some team news to update you on for tonight's game as well, with Joe Willock is set to return to the starting line-up.
Unfortunately, he’s likely to replace Joelinton who is a doubt after sustaining a knee injury against Fulham.
Howe has stated that the knee brace Joelinton was seen wearing was just a precaution, but he is not expected to start.
If you’re lucky eneough to have a ticket for tonight, bring your scarfs, make some noise and arrive early as it looks like the club have something special planned! 🤫
