A place in the EFL Cup final will be at stake when Newcastle and Southampton face each other at St. James’ Park on Tuesday evening.

The Magpies have been impressive at the back of late, with the team eyeing their fifth consecutive clean sheet in all competitions, and they are likely to rely on their rock-solid defence once again.

All Shelvey, Krafth, and Targett continue to miss out with injuries, but there are no fresh selection worries in the home team.

Meanwhile, the Saints face an uphill task in the return leg as they need to overcome a one-goal deficit away from home.

Since Newcastle have turned their St. James’ Park into a real fortress, anything but a routine home win would be a major surprise.

Both Larios and Livramento are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the away team.

This match will be played on 31/01/2023 at 21:00

Prediction: 2-0
Recommended Pick: Home to Win.
