Now, Eddie Howe will be looking to end the club&#8217;s 70-year trophy drought once again.<\/p>\n<p>Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon were the heroes in north London. Both players netted in what was a real smash-and-grab victory.<\/p>\n<p>On that bitterly cold night, the hosts boasted 70% possession and completed 300 more passes than Howe&#8217;s men. They also registered 23 goal attempts compared to Newcastle&#8217;s seven.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, the North East side grabbed the stats that really mattered. Going into Wednesday&#8217;s showdown, the Magpies will be desperate to right the wrongs from their surprise 2-1 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/news\/premier-league-barclays-era-deep-dive\/\">Premier League<\/a> defeat to Fulham.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">St. James&#39; Park.<br \/>Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Howay the Lads \ud83d\udc4a <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/m7Hrejh39q\">pic.twitter.com\/m7Hrejh39q<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Newcastle United (@NUFC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NUFC\/status\/1886382375816331471?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 3, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Arsenal will need to remain humble on Tyneside after they hit faltering champions Manchester City for five on Sunday afternoon at the Emirates.<\/p>\n<p>The Gunners have plenty of work to do but head to St James&#8217; Park in the best possible form. Mikel Arteta will be desperate for silverware and knows he has the players to flip this semi-final 2nd leg on it&#8217;s head.<\/p>\n<p>Two of those come in the shape of new local heroes Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri. Both netted peaches against City on the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Again, both players will be vital if Arteta&#8217;s side are going to have any chance of upsetting the odds and making it through to the final on March 16.<\/p>\n<p>Ahead of the game, Arsenal are the slight favourites with the best <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/betting-sites\/football\/\">football betting sites<\/a> in the UK and can be backed at 6\/5. Newcastle are available at 23\/10 with the draw 3\/1.<\/p>\n<h2>Newcastle Vs Arsenal Team News<\/h2>\n<p>Eddie Howe has plenty to ponder before he names his <strong>Newcastle<\/strong> starting XI. Callum Wilson is back in contention after missing the last couple of months with a hamstring injury.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest headache will be whether Nick Pope and Sven Botman are given the nod from the off. Pope is match fit again and Howe may reinstall him over Martin Dubravka.<\/p>\n<p>Botman is likely to replace local lad Dan Burn in the centre of defence. Bruno Guimaraes should start in midfield after missing the 1st leg through suspension.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, <strong>Arsenal<\/strong> still have plenty of injuries to contend with. Gabriel Jesus, Bukayo Saka, Takehiro Tomiyasu and\u00a0Ben White are all still ruled out.<\/p>\n<p>Myles Lewis-Skelly is almost certain to start at left-back after his performance against Manchester City on Sunday. Ethan Nwaneri is also pushing hard after he starred late on against City and has three goals in the EFL Cup this season.<\/p>\n<p>In between the sticks, David Raya is expected to keep his place over Neto. The Spaniard will be vital if the Gunners are to progress to the final.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Every touch before Ethan Nwaneri&#39;s mesmerising finish \ud83d\udd22 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ni8tngt1ey\">pic.twitter.com\/ni8tngt1ey<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Arsenal (@Arsenal) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Arsenal\/status\/1886414341152686212?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 3, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2>Newcastle Vs Arsenal Predicted Lineups<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Newcastle (4-3-3):<\/strong> Pope; Livramento, Botman, Schar, Hall; Tonali, Guimaraes, Joelinton; Murphy, Isak, Gordon<\/p>\n<p><strong>Arsenal (4-3-3):<\/strong> Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Lewis-Skelly; Odegaard, Partey, Rice; Martinelli, Havertz, Nwaneri<\/p>\n<h2>Newcastle Vs Arsenal Prediction<\/h2>\n<p>Despite losing their last two games on home soil, we are predicting Newcastle to just about get the job done against Arsenal at St James&#8217; Park on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>The 2-0 1st leg advantage will prove pivotal as the Geordie Boys will likely frustrate their visitors.
