The Magpies’ Lucky Lack of League Cup Stars…
Prepare for an epic showdown at Wembley this Sunday, as Newcastle tries to juggle its way through the Carabao Cup final against Liverpool! With a trophy drought since 1955, the Magpies are desperately longing for silverware but might need a bit more than just a rabbit’s foot given their current injury crisis. Manager Eddie Howe confirmed no new injuries, which is good, but Lascelles remains out, and Gordon is suspended for a rush of blood moment against Brighton, putting an icy damper on their hopes.
In his wisdom, Howe has decided to keep his team selection a mystery. Imagine it like the unpredictable British weather—expect the unexpected. He’s hoping for a bit of Harry Potter magic to help him out, as long-termers like Sven Botman and Lewis Hall continue their injuries’ sibling rivalry with knee and foot problems. Gordon sitting this one out is like forgetting the salt on your fish and chips—just not the same without it!
Meanwhile, Newcastle’s pre-match rituals have leveled up in class. Forgoing the deja vu of their last hotel stint near Wembley and opting for a luxurious, $650,000 coach journey. Newcastle goes posh on the road, but will it translate to goals on the pitch?
