  • Manager desperate to end club’s 70-year trophy drought
  • Newcastle take 2-0 advantage into St James’ Park clash

Eddie Howe has challenged his Newcastle players to create a “legacy” by reaching the final of the Carabao Cup at Arsenal’s expense.

The semi-final second leg at St James’ Park kicks off with Newcastle 2-0 in front after the first leg in north London last month and Howe accepts that can be a “dangerous” lead. He has, therefore, called on his team to “attack the game” in order to seal a place at Wembley and seek to end Newcastle’s long wait for silverware.
