Man City Hold Advantage in Newcastle Decider

Last Updated : 04-Feb-2026 by Footymad

Manchester City host Newcastle United at the Etihad tonight for the second leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final.

Pep Guardiola's men hold a 2-0 aggregate lead following strikes from Antoine Semenyo and Rayan Cherki in the first leg.

While City remain heavy favourites to set up a Wembley showdown with Arsenal, Guardiola warned his side against complacency.

Newcastle, the defending holders, must become only the second team in the competition's history to overturn a two-goal first-leg deficit to reach the final.
