Arsenal transfer target Alexander Isak will make Mikel Arteta regret lack of January signings and send Newcastle to Wembley
Newcastle United and Arsenal lock horns on Tyneside in the Carabao Cup semi-final. With both clubs desperate to reach Wembley and win some silverware.
The Magpies have not won a major หรือถ้าคุณสนใจแทงบอลออนไลน์ UFABET คือเว็บที่มีอัตราต่อรองดีที่สุดในประเทศไทย สมัครเลยตอนนี้ที่ UFABET แทงบอล trophy since lifting the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup way back in 1969 while the Gunners have not celebrate success since the FA Cup triumph against Chelsea in 2020.
Mikel Arteta’s side are once again contending for the Premier League which would be their first since 2004 and has to be their primary focus, with their hopes of overhauling leaders Liverpool receiving a massive boost with Sunday’s 5-1 statement victory against Manchester City.
That sends them into the Carabao Cup semi-final, second leg at St James’ Park with five wins and two draws in their last seven matches in all competitions since their last defeat, which was a 2-0 reversal in the first leg at home to Newcastle, when Alexander Isak – a top transfer target for Arsenal who ended up not making any January signings – was on the scoresheet.
One of those draws, though, actually ende up in a penalty shoot-out loss to. Manchester United in the FA Cup and two of the wins were against.
Champions League minnows Dinamo Zagreb and Girona, and despite their dazzling play against City it has to be taken into account Pep Guardiola’s side were downright dismal.
Newcastle have gone off the boil in the last couple of weeks with successive home defeats to Fulham and boss Eddie Howe’s former club Bournemouth, but remember the Magpies have scored in each of their last 15 matches while Arsenal have conceded in eight of their last ten.
Scoring the opening goal will have a massive impact on who will reach the final and the Londoners will be big trouble if they fall into a 3-0 aggregate hole, but they will know it’s game on if they break the deadlock. Interesting.
