Newcastle United vs Southampton Live Score and Live Stream
A Joelinton strike gave the Magpies the upper hand at the halfway point in the tie, as Eddie Howe's side vie to meet Manchester United or Nottingham Forest - most likely the former - in the final. Match preview © Reuters Profligacy plagued Newcastle during their most recent Premier League contest, which ended in a goalless stalemate with Crystal Palace, and lightning very nearly struck twice on the South coast as Howe's men struggled to make their dominance count in the first leg. Joelinton in particular was guilty of an atrocious miss, but the Brazilian finally got one right in the 73rd minute, tapping home from Alexander Isak's low cross before Duje Caleta-Car was given an amusing farewell by Jacob Murphy after being given his marching orders. Putting one foot firmly in the final - where Man United will surely lie in wait for Tuesday's victors after beating Forest 3-0 in their first leg - Newcastle are inching ever closer to capping off their remarkable rise with a long-awaited major piece of silverware, which has eluded them since their 1954-55 FA Cup triumph.
The Saints have also recorded a pair of 2-1 victories at Everton and Palace away from home in 2023, although Newcastle are unbeaten in their last six meetings with Southampton at St James' Park, but Howe's charges cannot afford to dream of Wembley too early on Tuesday. Newcastle United EFL Cup form: Newcastle United form (all competitions): Southampton EFL Cup form: Southampton form (all competitions): Team News Newcastle did not sustain any fresh injury or suspension concerns in the first leg, so Howe should only be working without the trio of Jonjo Shelvey, Emil Krafth and Matt Targett for Tuesday's second leg, and the former is confirmed to be in talks with Nottingham Forest over a late January transfer either way.
A third-round elimination to Sheffield Wednesday in that competition this year means that Howe's side have had a full week to recover from their St Mary's endeavours, and they could now reach a domestic cup final for the first time since the 1998-99 FA Cup, which ended in final heartache to Manchester United. A gap of 47 years between EFL Cup finals - with Newcastle last reaching the showpiece game in 1976 - would be the longest in history should Howe's side finish the job on Tuesday, and a run of eight consecutive clean sheets at home makes them firm favourites to do just that. In contrast, there were no clean sheets to be had at St Mary's when Southampton welcomed fellow coastal side Blackpool for an FA Cup fourth-round tie on Saturday, but a brace from the unlikeliest of sources sealed a narrow 2-1 win and a spot in round five for Nathan Jones's crop.
