Eddie Howe spoke to the media on Monday providing some fresh takes on Newcastle’s state of affairs just hours before today’s game. You can read everything Howe had to say here, as part of our pre-match coverage. WhoScored. com predictions at the upcoming Starting XIs from the Magpies and the Saints are in, so let’s go through what could be coming from Newcastle’s Eddie Howe.

Advancing in both cups is surely not comparable to advancing in, say, the Champions League, in terms of how demanding those competitions are for struggling teams in domestic leagues.

At the end of the day, trailing everybody sucks.
