Newcastle take on the visitors Arsenal in the second leg of English Football League Cup. First Leg result 2-0. The match will be played on Wednesday, February 5th at St. James' Park (Newcastle).
Newcastle got a new coach right after the change of owners - Eddie Howe. He immediately saved the popular team from relegation to the Championship. And in 2023, they managed to get to 4th place! This gave them a pass to the Champions League, for the first time in a couple of decades - but the English could not withstand the competition there, albeit in a difficult group. And 7th place in the Premier League last spring did not give anything: Manchester United's victory did not let them into the international arena at all. This and the almost calm transfer market in the summer by the "black and whites" caused skeptical forecasts. But the club is competitive again, especially in recent weeks and even months. But there are also failures, such as 1-4 with Bournemouth, which interrupted a series of 9 victories. A round later, they also lost to Fulham at home. At the same time, the club is good in the cup format. In this tournament, he knocked out not only Wimbledon, but also Nottingham Forest, Chelsea and Brentford. Moreover, in the first semi-final, they won 2-0 in London!

Arsenal shows good, but unstable results. The Gunners have recently taught us that they are again not only a historical, nominal, but also a very real and extremely competitive grandee. Last season, they also returned to the Champions League, and there in the playoffs they lost only to an old and extremely inconvenient opponent, Bayern. But at the same time, they remained second in the Premier League - again below Manchester City. Now the English again confidently passed the main round of the Champions League. But at the same time, there are enough failures. Here and the exit from the cup, after a defeat on penalties to Manchester United, despite the fact that the crisis opponent played for a long time with one man down. And in the Premier League, the gap to Liverpool is already very large, here at least the 2nd position should be maintained. In this regard, there was an important match in the last round, with Manchester City. There, Guardiola's charges were completely deservedly routed 5-1. And the first semi-final of the League Cup turned out to be almost a disaster: they conceded 2 unanswered goals, and at home.
The aforementioned 2-0 became the third victory of the "magpies" in the last four head-to-head matches. Right now, the "gunners" are capable of taking revenge on such "magpies" as they are now. We are betting on the victory of the guests from London.
Prediction for the match: Arsenal to win.
