Southampton and Newcastle are at opposite ends of the Premier League table, but both can take a step toward ending their club’s respective trophy droughts in the first leg of Tuesday’s League Cup semifinal.

You have to go back nearly 50 years to find Southampton’s only major trophy as winners of the 1975-1976 FA Cup. Meanwhile, Newcastle’s last came when they captured the 1996-1997 Premier League title.

Neither side has ever won this competition, though they’ve reached three finals between them. Most recently, Southampton lost the 2017 final to Manchester United, who play Nottingham Forest in this year’s other semifinal.

Visiting Newcastle thumped Southampton 4-1 in the league in early November. That result preceded the sacking of the Saints’ former manager Ralph Hasenhuttl.
