Leicester City veteran Wes Morgan says they'll be taking the Carabao Cup seriously.

The Foxes, who caused a huge upset when they were crowned English champions in 2016, launch their Carabao Cup campaign with a second-round trip to top-flight rivals Newcastle on Wednesday evening.

He told LCFC TV: "Speaking on behalf of everybody, it would be good to have something to celebrate once again and to have something we've accomplished this season so we can look back and say, 'Yes, we've had a good season'.

"We've had discussions in pre-season with the manager and the staff. We want a real good cup run this season.

"We face Newcastle on Wednesday and we know it's not going to be an easy task, but we've earmarked the FA Cup and Carabao Cup competitions, where we can go on a bit of a cup run.

"I think if you're winning all the games you're playing in, it breeds a winning mentality throughout the team.

"I'm sure there will be a few changes to our normal starting line-up in those games, but the philosophy is the same, which is that we want to win all of the games that we play in and we want to do well."
