Confirmed Arsenal team to face Newcastle in Carabao Cup semi final 2nd leg | OneFootball

There is no doubt that Arsenal is facing a tough task this evening in Newcastle, their opponents are a very strong team as they showed in the first leg but there are signs that Arteta’s boys can get the job done.

For starters, there is the most recent form for both sides: Arsenal thrashed Manchester City 5-1 at the weekend, whereas Newcastle lost at home 2-1 to Fulham.
