Also speaking to the media this morning, Newcastle's Bruno Guimaraes was asked what his message to the fans was before the final: "It is a good opportunity. We feel the same as them, we just want to make the fans happy.

"We know football sometimes can affect you in every way but my message is to stay positive. We are going to do our best to get this trophy back to the city."

And on how the team has changed from two years ago when they were last in the League Cup final: "I feel we have more confidence. When we have made a final before, we knew have more experience. We have changed some players but the base is still there. We are in our best moment.

"Hopefully we can go there and play our best football because on our best day I think we are really a great team."
