Newcastle United will be looking to Arsenal to restrict once again. The Magpies fell prey yo Fulham in their previous fixture. As Newcastle United are ahead, they will be keen on not letting Arsenal pass their defence. Eddie Howe’s men were low on the attacking rate but still scored a couple of goals and secured an important win in the first leg.

Kick-off:

Thursday, February 6, 01:30 AM IST

Location: St. James’ Park, Newcastle, England

Form:

Newcastle United: W-W-L-W-W

Players to Watch

Alexander Isak (Newcastle United)

The Swedish forward plays a key role in Newcastle United’s lineup. Alexander Isak was goalless for the Magpies in their last league game. But he outplayed Arsenal’s defence in the first leg to score an important goal. He has scored two goals in two Carabao Cup matches this season.

Martin Odegaard (Arsenal)

Arsenal’s attack was not very effective in the EFL Cup semi-final first leg. Martin Odegaard will play a big role if Arsenal get to a win against the Magpies here. He leads the midfield areas of the Gunners and is also very helpful for his side in the attack. Odegaard can lead Arsenal to a comeback here.
