8-minute highlights: City 2-0 Salford

It will be our fifth encounter with the Magpies this season following our 2-1 Premier League away defeat, two Carabao Cup semi-final triumphs and upcoming home league clash against Eddie Howe’s side this weekend.

The match will take place over the weekend of 7 and 8 March, with a specific date and time for our fixture to be confirmed in due course.

City’s cup campaign began with an outstanding 10-1 victory over Exeter City in January where new signing Antoine Semenyo and a handful of Academy graduates took centre stage in City’s first game to hit double figures in almost 40 years.

Then, in the fourth round, our clash at the Etihad with Salford provided a much more testing affair, with City able to see out a difficult 2-0 win last weekend, as we continue our fight for four major trophies.

Our opponents, Newcastle, confirmed their place in the latest round following a 3-1 comeback win over Aston Villa. Prior to that, the Magpies also knocked out fellow Premier League outfit Bournemouth on penalties following a 3-3 draw at St. James’ Park.
