"We get asked a lot about the cup competitions, our attitude won't change. We will try and win the next game and that is Aston Villa away, a really tough draw. Maybe not the draw we wanted but it's a competition we want to try and do well in. Enjoyed our run last year, disappointed to exit when we did so the aim to go as far as we can."
"I think we have to see it like that. I think we are here to try and win. Last year in the EFL Cup and what that meant to everybody and the experience we went through to win the competition. We would love to do it in another, in any other way we can. If that is the FA Cup then that is a great opportunity for us."
Newcastle United aim to add another title swiftly after beating Liverpool 2-1 to win the EFL Cup last March, ending a 60-year wait for a major domestic trophy. Newcastle were eliminated from this season's EFL Cup by Manchester City at the penultimate stage. The club regards the FA Cup tie away at Aston Villa as a meaningful opportunity to pursue more silverware and will approach each cup game with a winning mindset. Opta gives Villa a 54.8% chance of progressing. A recent victory at Tottenham has boosted team confidence ahead of the cup match and upcoming Champions League travel.
