Not Tottenham, Newcastle is the team that needs the English League Cup the most

Newcastle are the team most hungry for the English League Cup this season than anyone else.

In the early morning of January 8 (Vietnam time), Newcastle defeated Arsenal with a score of 2-0 right at the Emirates in the first leg of the English League Cup semi-final. Despite their busy Premier League schedule, they still have a strong squad and fight with determination. More than anyone else, Eddie Howe and his team need this championship.

When Newcastle reached the final of the English League Cup at Wembley in 2023, thousands of fans flocked to Trafalgar Square in London. They sang the capital into the club's iconic black and white on the night before the match against Manchester United.

In the end, the Red Devils lifted the trophy with a 2-0 victory thanks to Casemiro and Marcus Rashford. However, the emotional reaction of Newcastle fans is proof of how much they are hungry for the title.

The club's last major trophy was in 1955. That was in the FA Cup, when they beat Manchester City 3-1 in the final. Under the reign of owner Mike Ashley, they fell into a gloomy period.

But Newcastle has revived when it was taken over by new wealthy owners from Saudi Arabia in 2021. This support brings an optimistic future, and the club's nearly 70-year wait for a major trophy must end as soon as possible.

After 3 years, from a mid-level team, the Magpies have participated in the Champions League once and once finished in 7th place, almost almost participating in the UEFA Conference League.

This season, after going through a difficult period in September-October, coach Eddie Howe's team is currently in very good form. They have won all 6 of their most recent matches in all competitions, including 5 in the Premier League.

If they can win the English League Cup next month, Newcastle will raise their position, affirming that the Northeast giant has awakened from a long sleep.

Similar to Newcastle, Tottenham are also determined to win the English League Cup to quench their thirst for titles. As for coach Ange Postecoglou, he needs this trophy to secure his position. Spurs have won just three of their last 14 games in all competitions. Fans have begun to be dissatisfied and mourn him in recent matches.

Postecoglou joined Tottenham in the hope of taking the team to compete in the biggest stages, but the majority of Spurs fans only hope for one title, whatever it is. Because the team has not won a major championship since 2008.

The Premier League season has only gone through more than half, and both Newcastle and Spurs are unlikely to have a chance to compete for the top spot. They face a race to qualify for next season's European Cup.

Newcastle are currently in 5th place, so there are many opportunities to compete for a ticket to the Champions League. But Tottenham are struggling in 12th place. The English League Cup champions are also excited to participate in the UEFA Conference League play-off round. This is even more meaningful for Spurs when their performance in the English top flight is in disarray.

If they want to go to Wembley in March, the Roosters will have to beat Liverpool in two semi-final matches. As for the remaining match, Newcastle has a big advantage when leading 2-0 in the first leg.
