Watch Eddie's Presser Live Today @ 9.30am

Newcastle take on Manchester City on Wednesday 4th February at 8pm in the second leg of the Carabou Cup Semi-Final at the Etihad. The Toon start the game 2-0 down from the first leg at SJP and have a huge task to get through to the Final.

HERE IS THE PRESS CONFERENCE LINK Newcastle United

You can watch Eddie Howe's press conference live on the blog via a link on this page that will be posted up at about 9.15am this morning in advance of the live start at 9.30am.

Eddie will no doubt be asked about the collapse at Liverpool, our continuing inconsistent form, and there may be some searching questions on his reasons for starting the match without both Wissa and Woltemade.

Questions are also sure to be asked about the transfer window with no signings to provide cover for a back four currently shorn of key players.

In summary; it won't be a 'pat on the back' presser. Far from it.

The last time Eddie faced what he saw as criticism he didn't react in his usual calm and unruffled manner. His frustration was evident and, on the back of three games without a win and a faltering PL campaign, it will interesting to see how he reacts if the media turn on the heat.

Eddie will also be asked about the injury situation with Miley and Botman now added to the list of Tino, Krafth, Schar, Bruno and Jo.

At 2-0 down to City will Eddie decide not to risk key players in a semi-final that most fans have already written off? Bingo entrants will be listening closely for clues.

So... it should be a really interesting press conference... and sparks might fly.

Revisit this page at 9.30am to watch it live.

Eddie's Bingo for the City game will be up after the presser.
