Newcastle boss Eddie Howe admits his players were "bruised" after their Carabao Cup final defeat to Manchester United.
The Magpies go to Manchester City for Saturday's early kickoff.
Howe said, "We were bruised on Sunday and Monday, but very quickly it turned to Manchester City and return to work really.
"The passion and the motivation, I didn't feel it could increase within me but I think it has. We experienced a great occasion to see the Newcastle supporters, the colours, the visions, the memories I will take from that.
"The passion they showed, the love they showed to the team in all moments will stay with me and we want to return that and give them future successes. That burns deeply inside me."
On team news, he added: "Bruno (Guimaraes) is fine. He was in a bit of short term pain but nothing that's impacted his training week."
