A place in the Carabao Cup final is up for grabs when Newcastle United welcome Southampton to St. James’ Park.
The Magpies are in the driving seat after winning the first leg 1-0 thanks to a Joelinton strike, and they are now 90 minutes away from a first cup final since the 1998/99 FA Cup.
History favours the Tynesiders, too; they have won their last three meetings with Saints and are unbeaten in five games in this fixture, a run stretching back to a 2-0 Premier League defeat in November 2020.
Kick-off is at 8.00pm GMT.
Team news
Jonjo Shelvey, Emil Krafth and Matt Targett miss out for Newcastle through injury.
Newcastle completed the £40m signing of Anthony Gordon from Everton on Sunday, but boss Eddie Howe said: "I will not be in a hurry to make too many changes to the team".
Duje Caleta-Car returns from suspension for Saints - he was sent off in the first leg last week but served his suspension in Saturday's 2-1 FA Cup win over Blackpool.
Juan Larios, Valentino Livramento, Stuart Armstrong and Alex McCarthy are out and Moussa Djenepo is a doubt.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Carabao Cup football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for any Carabao Cup action, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
