The Magpies have four wins on the spin in the league and will be hoping to use this momentum and book themselves a place in the Fourth Round of the Carabao Cup by defeating Patrick Vieira’s side this evening.
Ahead of the game, Howe insisted that his side are ‘desperate’ to progress, although there may be some rotation to the team that started at St Mary’s. "We have a lot of players that are eager to play and show their qualities.” Howe said.
