Newcastle were thrashed 4-1 at Liverpool in their most recent outing and have won only one of the last six games in all competitions.

What’s been said?

Man City manager Pep Guardiola: “We have the chance to make our fifth final in ten years in the Carabao Cup. Of course it was a good result [in the first leg] I would prefer to start 2-0 up but I know perfectly Howe and the many times we have played against Newcastle, the pride they have and being a Champions League team so we need to be prepared and see how the players recover after a tough game with Spurs. Play our game for our people and our fans and try to reach Wembley in March.”

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe: “It’s going to be an almighty challenge. There’s no greater challenge than Manchester City. We believe in ourselves and are going to give it a good go. We just have to try to win the game. If we have that mentality and attack the game then let’s see what we can do.”
