Newcastle United’s recent victory over Manchester City has propelled them into the spotlight as potential favorites to clinch the League Cup title, according to former West Ham striker Frank McAvennie. The Magpies secured a 1-0 win over the reigning Premier League champions, with Alexander Isak netting the decisive goal.
Last season, under the leadership of Eddie Howe, Newcastle reached the League Cup final but ultimately lost 2-0 to Manchester United. This year, they are determined to go one step further and lift the trophy.
McAvennie expressed his belief that Newcastle’s strong recent performances and cohesive teamwork make them strong contenders to win the competition. He highlighted their impressive form and the quality of players in their squad as key factors contributing to their success.
He stated, “It was a big result, and Newcastle are doing well at the moment. They are all fighting for each other, and they have got some decent players. I am not surprised to see them progressing. I think Newcastle will be favorites to win the whole thing now.”
Newcastle United has a storied history in English football, with six FA Cup victories to their name, the most recent of which was in 1955. While they have yet to secure the League Cup, their triumph in the English second division in 2017 showcased their potential to win silverware.
As they progress in the competition, Newcastle United will be keen to maintain their impressive form and solidify their status as favorites to claim the League Cup title. Fans and pundits alike will be closely watching their journey in the tournament as they aim to secure their first League Cup trophy in the club’s history.
