LIVE STREAM Manchester City vs Newcastle United
Manchester City will look to seal their place in the final of the League Cup as they welcome holders Newcastle United to the Etihad on Wednesday night in the second leg of their semi-final tie.
Manchester City have one foot already in the League Cup final, after winning 0-2 at St James’ Park in the first leg in the middle of January, thanks to goals from Antoine Semenyo and Ryan Cherki.
However, Pep Guardiola’s men dropped points for the fifth time in six matches in the Premier League, as they threw away a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 at struggling Spurs, on an afternoon in which both of my selections landed, with help from bet365’s Early Payout.

Whilst that draw moved them a point clear of third-placed Aston Villa, the Cityzens have now fallen six points behind leaders Arsenal in the table.
Newcastle also come into this clash after suffering away disappointment in the Premier League despite taking the lead, as they ended up being beaten 4-1 at Anfield against Liverpool on Saturday night, leaving them 10th in the table, seven points outside the Champions League places.
That result continued the Magpies’ struggles away from home this season, with Eddie Howe’s men winning just three of their 16 away matches in all competitions (W3-D6-L7).
