Arsenal and Newcastle face off tonight in the second leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final. The Gunners must overturn a two-goal first-leg deficit to reach the final. Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon scored in the semi-final first leg to build a commanding lead as Arsenal produced one of their worst performances of the season.

It is good, then, that Arsenal have chosen to produce one of the most impressive displays of Mikel Arteta’s five-year tenure heading into this crucial cup clash, which comes three days after the Gunners humbled Manchester City 5-1 to send out a huge statement in the Premier League title race, which now firmly does not involve the champions.

Bukayo Saka and Ben White remain sidelined, but David Raya, Martin Odegaard and Mikel Merino all shook off fitness concerns to face City, so Arsenal are unchanged tonight at St James’ Park. Newcastle, meanwhile, are without Joelinton after the influential midfielder picked up a knee injury against Fulham at the weekend, and go five at the back.

Will the Gunners be able to overturn a two-goal deficit away from home or will Newcastle be able to fend them off again? You can follow this blog for all the latest team news and build-up ahead of kick-off on Wednesday evening!
