Toon Kids Can Lift The Doom And Gloom

The Geordie teenager scored the goal last Saturday that sparked a mini-revival by United after they went 3-0 down to holders Liverpool. Then they finished the tie 4-2, which obviously still puts the Merseysiders in the driving seat for tonight's match.

Carroll: "Hopefully we can get the goals we need to level things up. Everybody in training has been saying we can do it and that is the mentality.

"We saw in Newcastle's game against Alkmaar that it can be done. It happened to the first team - and we believe we can do it."

"For me and the rest of the lads it is such a big night to be playing at Anfield. It is a big stadium and they are a good team, but we can take some heart from the first leg.

"We had more chances in the first leg than people think. We just didn't put them away. If we get a good start we can do it.

"I played in last year's semi against Man City and it is a good achievement to get here again. We don't feel any pressure and we are just going to go out and enjoy our football."

The away goals rule does not applying to the competition, so a 2-0 scoreline will take the game into extra time.

NEWCASTLE squad: Cook, Cowan, Bertram, Francis, Morris, Cavener, Doninger, Godsmark, LuaLua, Carroll, Donaldson, Critchlow, Debbage, Marwood, Reay and Taylor.
