Blackburn Rovers v Newcastle United: Eddie Howe says FA Cup can ensure 'very special' season

Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe says this season can "still be very special" as he targets FA Cup glory.

The Magpies face Championship side Blackburn Rovers live on BBC One on Tuesday, eyeing a quarter-final place.

Newcastle slipped to ninth in the Premier League with a 4-1 defeat to Arsenal on Saturday and have not won a major domestic trophy since lifting the FA Cup in 1955.

"We are still in the throes of deciding where this season ends up," Howe said.

"This season can still be very special for us. Nothing is decided for or against us.
