Today, the second leg of the Carabao Cup semifinal between Newcastle and Arsenal takes place. The Gunners must win by two goals to level the series. The winner will face the victor of tomorrow’s Liverpool vs. Tottenham match.
The semifinals of the English EFL Cup, also known as the Carabao Cup, continue today with a thrilling second-leg clash between Newcastle and Arsenal. Both teams are enjoying strong form in the Premier League, and expectations are high for an exciting match.
Arsenal Must Rise to the Challenge
The match, scheduled for 2:00 p.m. (Mexico City time), sees Arsenal in a must-win situation. The Gunners need at least a two-goal victory to push the series into extra time and potentially a penalty shootout, as Newcastle secured a 2-0 win in the first leg.
The Magpies will aim to protect their lead from the first leg and, if possible, extend it to put their opponents in an even tougher spot. A single goal from Newcastle would force Arsenal to score at least three to level the aggregate, as the Carabao Cup no longer applies the away goals rule.
The Winner Awaits Liverpool or Tottenham
Once this semifinal is decided, the focus will shift to tomorrow’s match, where Liverpool and Tottenham will battle for the second spot in the final. Spurs hold a narrow 1-0 advantage heading into the decisive fixture.
