Eddie Howe: “I think the players have realised the passion and loyalty of the fans and the respect they have for their heroes. I think when you play for Newcastle, as long as you do well, the fans love you and that’s very clear, they are very loyal. The players here are determined to win a trophy for them and that’s what we all want.”

“Nobody wants to meet them in the draw because they are the best club in the world. They’ve been doing that for a while now and no matter what lineup they put out, they’re a very good team. They have world-class players and the best coach and it will be a test for us, we won’t underestimate the opposition, but we also want to attack, show our depth and show that we can compete well in all aspects.”
