Newcastle United are going back to Wembley Stadium.

The club have never played a showpiece final at the new Wembley, with the old place knocked down and a new one built since Ruud Gullit's side were beaten by Manchester United at the 1999 FA Cup final.

It looks like it will be Manchester United who will provide the opposition once again, this time in the Carabao Cup final after Newcastle progressed from their semi-final tie with Southampton.

Supporters will hope it's the start of a new period of success coming just over a year since the Saudi-led takeover of the club and the arrival of Eddie Howe as manager.

Already upsetting the apple cart with their push for a Champions League place next season, Newcastle have an opportunity to claim the first piece of major silverware this year and we'll have a special build-up to get you ready for the big game on February 26.
