But Newcastle will quite rightly take plenty of confidence from their first leg triumph at the Emirates when Arsenal visit this week. It was a reasonably comfortable 2-0 win on the night and home support will be key to getting over the line and to Wembley.

A combination of that and a rousing 5-1 win over Manchester City should give the Gunners hope of turning this around. Arsenal have won four on the spin, scoring 11 goals and conceding just two since that damaging 2-2 draw with Aston Villa.
