Arsenal travel to Newcastle on Wednesday looking to overturn a 2-0 deficit and reach the Carabao Cup final.
The Magpies hold a clear advantage following a fantastic first-leg win in which goals from Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon put them in a commanding position.
That game took place almost a month ago, with plenty having changed since then.
Here’s what you need to know ahead of the huge cup clash.

Newcastle
After a stunning run of nine wins in a row in all competitions, Newcastle have dipped of late having lost two of their last three games, against Bournemouth and then Fulham on Saturday.
Arsenal
The Gunners go into the game off the back of thrashing Manchester City 5-1 on Sunday. They have won five of the last six in all competitions and the last four in a row.
Newcastle boss Eddie Howe
“The start to this game is going to be really, really important as it is to any game. We need to set the right intention, we need to set the right body language for everybody to connect with those coming to watch us. I think if we can do that with the qualities we have that will help us a lot.”
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta
“The next stop is a final in Wembley so we know how big that is and you can feel it. You can feel it straight away. The boost that the game gave us when against City, the manner that we did it and the fact that it’s a game that is the closest competition we are in to a final. So we’re going to give it our real go.”
