Newcastle fans take over Trafalgar Square ahead of Carabao Cup final vs Man Utd

Newcastle fans are living it up in London ahead of their team's Carabao Cup final against Manchester United, taking over Trafalgar Square on Saturday afternoon for a true Geordie party.

The Toon Army have descended on the capital this weekend as they prepare to back Eddie Howe 's side at Wembley in Sunday's mouth-watering final. Newcastle supporters are dreaming of their first major trophy win since 1969, as they triumphed in what's now considered to be the Europa League.

Beloved boss Howe knows that his Magpies will be backed by tens of thousands of fans come kick-off, but well over 24 hours prior, Newcastle's supporters got the party started. Adorning London's iconic square with black and white flags, scarves and memorabilia, the Toon Army followed in the footsteps of many other fan bases before them, such as when bitter north-east rivals Sunderland have visited Wembley on multiple occasions in recent years.
