What has Howe said?

Speaking ahead of this game, Newcastle boss Eddie Howe has said: “We’re delighted to be where we are but the semi-final itself isn’t enough. Ultimately, you want to get one step further. I know the players feel the same way. Me and my coaching team feel passionately about it that we want to make the final, but we have to navigate these two games and they’re going to be very difficult.

“I think the away game will be a really good spectacle for the fans that travel and it’s on television so everyone will have a chance to watch the game. We’re desperate for the next step but we have to take our mind off that really and focus on the process and the job, and the job is to go to Southampton and perform.”

What has Jones said?

Southampton boss Nathan Jones praised Howe and Newcastle ahead of Tuesday night’s fixture, saying: “I’ve lots of admiration for Eddie as a human being and as a coach and manager he is proving he can build something, he can take setbacks and then he can go to a Premier League club and do well. Our careers have lots of parallels and I have spoken to him a few times. If I can get anywhere near him I will be delighted.

“That’s what I have to do here. That’s what I’ve been brought in to do, to develop players to be better than what others thought they could be or the levels they were playing at previously. That’s what coaching is, that’s what man management is and we’ve got players who have bought into everything.

“I’ve got to make sure I give them a structure and keep on to them so they keep sticking to the game plan, sticking to the structure so they improve individually and we improve as a team.”
