Newcastle vs Leicester City

Howe named a weakened XI against Sheffield Wednesday but the he will go strong tonight as he looks to take Newcastle to their first domestic semi-final in ...

It was a bad miss which threatened to haunt the defender. At least in the context of both teams picking up where they left off - Newcastle organised and motivated, Leicester muddled and uninspired. But the goal was a brilliant moment for him. All Newcastle had to do was see out the game and he would feel so invincible as to walk on that famous river. The first of those was against Newcastle on Boxing Day. There was, then, work to be done, and not the sort of work you expect to see from a makeshift left-back. It was with his right boot, too, the foot that is ordinarily only used for supporting his sizeable frame. But much like Burn’s time on Tyneside, just a goal was missing for the rampant hosts. While the home fans swirled black and white flags on the Gallowgate End, the visitors had come armed only with a white one. And while Newcastle United are headed for a first domestic semi-final in 18 years and, potentially, their first trophy since 1969, it is amid the delirium of nights such as this that names are stitched into the fabric of a club’s folklore. In life and in football, the journey is often better than the destination. He had to plead with Brighton to let him realise a boyhood dream and sign for his hometown club 12 months ago.

They rested players for their FA Cup tie at Sheffield Wednesday and came unstuck. Fans were in forgiving mood with this domestic cup quarter-final coming up ...

A groan and a gasp, followed by a round of applause, but it stirred bad memories, Newcastle missed a succession of good chances against Leeds and again in the shock FA Cup defeat to Sheffield Wednesday last weekend. It was not dancing in the dressing room in front of the television cameras, good. Within seconds the fear crept in again as Joelinton was played in, but his deflected shot came back off the post via the fingertips of Ward. In their biggest game of the season so far, under pressure, in a Carabao Cup quarter final they were expected to win, Newcastle delivered in style. The defence retreated, Almiron sprinted forward, holding on to the ball just long enough for Joe Willock to get up alongside and then in behind the Leicester centre backs. He felt the pain then, acutely, just as he felt the joy this time. It was the Newcastle United fan scoring in front of the Gallowgate End who sent Eddie Howe’s side on their way to a first cup semi-final for 18 years. I like to get forward and it's entertaining watching a guy my size running into the box.” Burn is as close to a giant as they have on the pitch. It was a dream he thought had died. But this is a new Newcastle and it was in front of a seething, swaying mass of black and white in the stands. A giant is not stirring, it is sitting bolt upright and looks ready to go on a rampage.

Daka wins the ball off Trippier and Barnes weaves around a few Newcastle players to get a shot away. Guimaraes gets Newcastle going and Almiron carries the ball up the pitch. It looks destined for the net, but Ward flicks out a right hand and parries it wide. City need to get a grip. And now Guimaraes has fired a shot just wide. He dribbles into the area and finishes low with his right foot, the ball going through Amartey's legs on the way. The change in formation has made City look a little more likely to score. Rodgers looks to the skies after a poor Iheanacho pass is intercepted. We’ll see where we’re at, but we need to work with what we have, and fight for the weekend and a massive derby game.” We have to push, we changed the structure. We have to fight and play with more quality if we want to get something from that game. He just felt it was best to try to square it to Barnesy.
