Jamie Redknapp believes Newcastle United are now the favourites to win the Carabao Cup due to the 'good feeling' around the club. The Magpies will now face Southampton in a two-legged semi-final after dispatching Leicester City at St James' Park on Tuesday night.
Goals from Dan Burn and Joelinton were enough to seal a throroughly deserved 2-0 victory for the hosts who were dominant throughout. Manchester United will square off against Nottingham Forest in the other semi-final tie, having beaten Charlton Athletic and Wolves respectively.
Newcastle's prospects have seemingly been boosted by Southampton's shock victory to knock Manchester City out. Pep Guardiola's side have won four of the last five competitions, but a rotated side from the Premier League champions suffered a 2-0 loss at St Mary's on Wednesday night.
