Manchester City are set to host Newcastle United tonight at the Etihad Stadium in the second leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final, hoping to secure their place in the final after a strong first-leg performance. Kick-off is scheduled for 23:00 EAT.
With a 2-0 advantage at St. James’ Park, Manchester City head coach Pep Guardiola will be aiming to build on that lead, with their sights firmly set on reaching another domestic cup final.
Newcastle, on the other hand, are to work hard if they are to secure a win tonight at Etihad Stadium. However, Eddie Howe’s men have shown resilience in cup competitions this season, but breaking down City’s high press and disciplined defense will be a hard test.

Key battles to watch include City’s dynamic midfield, led by Rodri and Semenyo, the current signing, against Newcastle’s organized setup. The Magpies will likely look to exploit counterattacks and set pieces to claw back into contention.
A place in the Carabao Cup final is at stake, and with City holding a two-goal advantage, the Etihad promises an exciting, tactical encounter.
Will Newcastle pull off a dramatic comeback, or will Manchester City confirm their dominance and march on to Wembley?
