Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe wants his players to put thoughts of League Cup glory to one side - for now.
The Magpies were pitted against Southampton for the two-legged League Cup semi-final later this month but must first face up to both Fulham on Sunday then Crystal Palace away next Saturday night. And Howe knows that staying in the shake up for a European place must take the priority for his players.
Reflecting on the semi-final draw, after the Saints dumped Manchester City out of the competition, Howe said: "It's a tough game, but we're just pleased to be in it. "It's a two-legged semi-final, so we're looking forward to that.
