Kelly Discusses Newcastle’s Carabao Cup Progress and Upcoming Arsenal Match

Following Newcastle United’s 2-0 triumph over Chelsea on Wednesday, which secured their advancement to the Carabao Cup quarter-finals, BBC Radio Newcastle interviewed defender Lloyd Kelly about the significance of the Magpies’ progress in the competition. The former Bournemouth player remarked: “It’s huge [to continue in the competition]. When you look at the history of Newcastle, it has been a long time since the club has been able to achieve something domestically so we know the importance behind it, but at the same time we are not getting too ahead of ourselves.” “We’re keeping focused, doing what we need to do and of course when that game comes we’ll be ready for it.” Kelly was then questioned about the upcoming Premier League fixture against Arsenal at home on Saturday, to which he replied: “We need to make sure that we are on our best game and focused and ready because we know what they bring.” “It’s going to be another tough game but we will prepare right and give our best and see what happens.”
