Eddie Howe urges his Newcastle side to 'attack the game' in the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg against Arsenal, aiming to end the club's 70-year wait for silverware. The Magpies hold a 2-0 lead from the first leg but Howe acknowledges the 'dangerous' nature of their advantage, emphasizing the need to perform and seize the opportunity to reach Wembley.

“Nerves and excitement are closely linked and I understand the brain can go in different directions,” said Howe, whose side have won 10 of their past 12 games but lost the last two at home. “But what a great opportunity we’ve got.” Although Callum Wilson could finally be sufficiently fit to occupy a seat on Newcastle’s substitutes’ bench, a knee injury dictates that Joelinton’s involvement in midfield is touch and go. If the latter’s absence would delight Arsenal’s manager, Mikel Arteta, the tie is less likely to be affected by the hitherto fringe defender Lloyd Kelly’s deadline-day move to Juventus.
