Manchester City vs Newcastle United Preview

Manchester City welcome Newcastle United to the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday night for a Carabao Cup semi-final clash, with kick-off scheduled for 20:00 GMT. The hosts enter this tie with mixed recent form, collecting two wins, one draw, and two defeats from their last five matches across all competitions. Their most recent outing saw them draw 2-2 away at Tottenham Hotspur despite being 2:0 up on February 1st.

Earlier in this sequence, they suffered defeats away to Bodo/Glimt (3-1) in European competition and away at Manchester United (2-0) in the league.
