Eddie Howe believes the mood in the Newcastle United camp ahead of Sunday’s EFL Cup final versus Liverpool “feels different” than it did before their last final loss in 2023.

Newcastle are bidding to win their first major domestic trophy since 1955, when they beat Manchester City 3-1 in the FA Cup showpiece match.

Since then, the Magpies have lost five domestic cup finals (three in the EFL Cup and two in the FA Cup), with only Chelsea enduring a longer losing run in finals (three EFL Cup finals and three FA Cup finals since 2019).

Howe previously guided Newcastle to the final of this competition in 2023, but they were beaten 2-0 by Manchester United with Casemiro and Marcus Rashford scoring.

But he believes they are approaching this match with more confidence, having eliminated four Premier League clubs in Nottingham Forest, Chelsea, Brentford and Arsenal.

“I am feeling very good. I think it does feel different,” Howe told reporters as he reflected on the 2023 final.

“I think the whole thing this season has felt different, in the sense that I think we have gone about our business in a really calm, controlled way.

“We have had a really tough run of fixtures in the cup. I think to attack those games in the way that we did and in the midst of a busy campaign with the Premier League, FA Cup… we have gone from round to round. Now we have ended up in the final.

“There has been a lot less emotion, a lot less noise outside here. Hopefully, that helps us with the performance in the game.”

Should Newcastle triumph on Sunday, Howe will become the first English manager to win a major trophy with a Premier League team since 2008, when Harry Redknapp oversaw Portsmouth’s FA Cup victory.

The last Englishman to lift the EFL Cup as a manager was Steve McClaren, who did so with Middlesbrough in 2004.

Howe has won 12 of his 16 EFL Cup matches with Newcastle (75%), the best win ratio of any manager to take charge of more than one game in the competition for the Magpies.

Indeed, the only Newcastle manager with more wins in the EFL Cup is Kevin Keegan (13 in 21 games).

Midfielder Bruno Guimaraes echoed Howe’s thoughts as he said: “I feel we have more confidence. Because we have made a final before, we know have more experience.

“We have changed some players, but the base is still there. We are in our best moment.

“Hopefully we can go there and play our best football because on our best day, I think we are really a great team.

“It is a good opportunity. We feel the same as them, we just want to make the fans happy. We are going to do our best to get this trophy back to the city.”

Liverpool fans will rejoice as supposed injured defender is spotted in training

Ibou Konate training with Liverpool is a massive boost

Liverpool fans are hoping that we can win the Carabao Cup final this weekend, though we will need our best squad in order to do so.

Arne Slot spoke before the match to provide a squad fitness update and said: “What about Ibou Konate?

“We didn’t train yesterday, we were on a day off and the day before was recovery, so I expect him to train with us today but let’s see how he is.”

After the two days off, there was no certainty that our No.5 would be part of the squad before the match with Newcastle but there’s been an update.

Thanks to images shared on liverpoolfc.com, we can see that the Frenchman was part of the pre-Wembley session and that is a massive boost.

With talk about who will replace the injured Trent Alexander-Arnold, as well as the issues with Conor Bradley and Joe Gomez, we couldn’t afford another defensive issue.

Eddie Howe has already tried to remove the possibility for any excuses from the Reds, though we have had to endure a very tough game with PSG this week.

The mental and physical fatigue is why our head coach allowed an extra day off for his players and we will wait to see how we bounce back.

However, the return of the central defender is a massive boost and should mean he will play alongside Virgil van Dijk for the duration of the match.

Let’s hope this proves to be a winning formula and that Liverpool are victorious at Wembley.
