How both teams go into Arsenal vs Newcastle
This marks Newcastle’s second appearance in the EFL Cup semi-finals within a three-year span. They advanced to the final in 2023 but were defeated by Manchester United, marking their first cup final since 1999, with their last major domestic trophy dating back to 1955. Under Eddie Howe’s guidance, the Magpies eliminated three London clubs—AFC Wimbledon, Chelsea, and Brentford—during their journey to this season’s final four, with all victories secured on home turf.
Arsenal, led by Mikel Arteta, have celebrated one FA Cup victory and is making their second EFL Cup semi-final appearance, having been knocked out by Liverpool at this stage three seasons ago. The Gunners have reached three League Cup finals since their last title win in 1993, in 2007, 2011, and 2018. They comfortably defeated Bolton and Preston North End before facing a more formidable challenge against Crystal Palace in the quarter-finals.
