Manchester City vs. Newcastle United : Prediction, date, venue, and how to watch Carabao Cup semi-final match

Manchester City host Newcastle United at the Etihad Stadium for the second leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final, with a place in the final at Wembley on the line.

Pep Guardiola’s side carries a 2-0 aggregate advantage after a controlled first-leg performance at St James’ Park, leaving Newcastle with a significant task if they are to keep their cup hopes alive.

City remain formidable at home and are targeting yet another domestic final, while Newcastle must balance ambition with defensive caution after injuries have limited Eddie Howe’s options at the back.

Both sides arrive looking for a response after disappointing Premier League results, with Newcastle suffering a 4-1 defeat to Liverpool and Manchester City surrendering a two-goal lead in a draw away at Tottenham.

Manchester City vs. Newcastle United: Team news 

Manchester City

Pep Guardiola will be without several first-team options for the semi-final second leg with Jeremy Doku remaining sidelined with a calf injury and not expected back until mid-February, while Josko Gvardiol faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines after suffering a tibial fracture.

Ruben Dias is closing in on a return to training but is not expected to be risked, with John Stones, Savinho and Mateo Kovacic also unavailable as City manage fitness during a congested schedule.

Newcastle United

Newcastle travel to the Etihad with defensive options stretched. Fabian Schär, Jamaal Lascelles, Emil Krafth and Tino Livramento are all set to miss the trip, leaving Eddie Howe with limited cover at the back as his side attempts to overturn the deficit.

Bruno Guimarães is a doubt after missing the weekend defeat to Liverpool, while Joelinton is also struggling for fitness ahead of the second leg.

Manchester City vs. Newcastle United prediction

Manchester City’s dominance in the first leg and their control-heavy approach at the Etihad give them a clear edge heading into the second leg.

Newcastle will likely struggle to hold back City's attacks with their weakened defence and may find moments of encouragement, but City’s depth, possession control and experience in knockout ties should see them safely through.

Prediction: Manchester City to win and progress to the EFL Cup final.
