Eddie Howe has revealed that his Newcastle United players feel the 'desire from everyone around the city to be successful' as the Magpies prepare for their first League Cup semi-final in 47 years.
Newcastle travel to Southampton on Tuesday night for the first-leg of their huge cup clash at St Mary's. While reaching the semi-finals has represented a huge step forward for Newcastle, given the club's poor recent record in the competition, players and staff alike are now 'desperate' to get to the final at Wembley next month.
Dan Burn has already told his team-mates they would be 'gods' if they could end the club's trophy drought, which stretches back to 1969, and the group have certainly not needed reminding of the importance of tomorrow's game in their quest to do just that.
