Newcastle United are in high spirits despite the absences in their squad and will look to present a unified front when they return to Wembley Stadium for the League Cup final against Liverpool, manager Eddie Howe said on Friday.

Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe admits he is braced to make a decision that will cause deep disappointment at Wembley - but has urged those who do end up on the bench to quickly support their team-mates for the Carabao Cup final against Liverpool.

Bruno Guimaraes believes Newcastle United will be up against ‘the best team in the world’ when they face Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday.
