Manchester City vs. Newcastle United: What is at stake?

Manchester City remain one of the most decorated sides in EFL Cup history, having lifted the trophy eight times, including a dominant spell in which they won six titles across an eight-year period.

However, the reigning League Cup champions have failed to reclaim the trophy in each of the last four editions, and Pep Guardiola’s side will be keen to avoid another premature exit as they continue to juggle multiple competitions.

City still find themselves firmly in the hunt for a potential quadruple, sitting right on the heels of Premier League leaders Arsenal, and the Sky Blues will be confident of seeing the tie through after their first-leg success.

Goals from Antoine Semenyo, who has adapted superbly to life at the Etihad since his arrival, and Rayan Cherki sealed a vital 2-0 win on Tyneside last time out, giving City a significant cushion heading into Wednesday’s showdown.

Newcastle, meanwhile, must produce a response after a sobering 4-1 defeat to Liverpool in the league on Saturday, with Eddie Howe’s side hoping to clinch a memorable comeback and keep their cup aspirations alive.
