Newcastle vs Southampton team news: Eddie Howe sticks with trusted lineup for semi-final

Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe named an unchanged line-up for the fifth game in the row as the Magpies bid for a place at the League Cup final.

With Wembley on the horizon, Howe resisted temptations to change the frontline with Callum Wilson keeping his place in attack.
