What could have been the catalyst for an improved run of fortunes at St Mary’s has not quite panned out that way for Southampton, who have been brought crashing back down to earth since their shock elimination of Man City in the EFL Cup quarter-finals.

A comeback victory over fellow Premier League strugglers Everton last weekend continued to brighten the mood, but there was little joy to be had at St Mary’s on Saturday, where Ollie Watkins scored the only goal of the game in a 1-0 success for Aston Villa after a drone had halted play.

Referee Michael Salisbury was the target of Saints’ frustrations after another goal for captain James Ward-Prowse was ruled out, with Mohamed Elyounoussiadjudged to have fouled Jacob Ramsey, leaving the South-coast side rock bottom of the Premier League table.

The cups have been a welcome distraction for the Saints, though, as Jones’s side previously saw off Cambridge United, Sheffield Wednesday and Lincoln City to make it this far and are now bidding to reach their first final since 2016-17, where they ultimately lost to Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United.

Somewhat bizarrely, Man City are the only team to have failed to score at St Mary’s in Southampton’s last 15 home matches, but Newcastle have hardly been ruthless in front of goal during the period of cold snaps.

It took an 89th-minute header from Alexander Isak to help Newcastle see off Fulham last weekend, but they were met with another low block in the form of Crystal Palace on Saturday, and Howe’s men would not find their way through this time around.

While Vicente Guaita came up with seven saves at Selhurst Park – albeit mostly comfortable ones – Nick Pope was called into action to produce a sensational stop from Jean-Philippe Mateta, and that point was enough for Newcastle to rise to third before Manchester United’s meeting with Arsenal.

A hint of apprehension may be creeping in for Newcastle fans after witnessing their side score just four goals in their last six games, although two of those came in their quarter-final win over Leicester, where second-half strikes from Joelintonand Dan Burn did the damage.

Competing in the EFL Cup semi-finals for the first time since the 1975-76 season – their only appearance in the final four to date – Newcastle travel to St Mary’s having failed to win any of their three away games so far in 2023, but goals against Southampton have been easy to come by for the Magpies.

Indeed, Howe’s side stormed to a 4-1 win at St Mary’s earlier this season – their third triumph from their last four over Southampton – and they have struck 11 goals versus the Saints in that time, albeit while conceding six themselves.
