League Cup
Newcastle has a good advantage after a 2-0 win as a guest in the first match and is looking towards the final. For the second time this season, they defeated Arsenal, not conceding a goal in both cases. Previously, they beat them 1-0 at home in a Premier League match in November. Surprisingly, Newcastle lost their last two home games in the league, but won three of their last four home games against Arsenal. This tournament is a good opportunity for a trophy, something they haven't won since 1955.
Arsenal exploded with a 5-1 win at home against Manchester City over the weekend, showing that they haven't given up on the title race. However, they may have already given up on the League Cup. They will need a lot of effort if they want to succeed with at least two goals in the rematch in this tournament, which they last won in 1993.
Prediction: under 3.5 goalsSimilar to the first match, I do not expect many goals, as the matches between the two teams in recent years have not been very productive. Only one of the last 11 matches between them had over 3.5 goals, and the last 13 home games of Newcastle against Arsenal have been under 3.5 goals, with the last six even under 2.5.
