It feels like a crucial point in the season for Arsenal, who have bumped out of the FA Cup and have a deficit to overturn in this one against Newcastle United. Toon were clinical in the first leg and have a 2-0 lead coming into this one in the North East and consequently seem to be the favourites to go through. However, cup competitions are always tricky to navigate, particularly for a Magpies side last won a major trophy back in 1955 and who have plenty of pressure on them.

Newcastle United vs Arsenal Analysis
A place in the final of the Carabao Cup is at stake for these sides in the North East.
Newcastle United
The start of 2025 has been superb for Newcastle, who minus one blip at home to Bournemouth, have been one of the form sides in the Premier League. Their top 4 push is on hold for now though, as they look to get the better of Arsenal in this one, with a place in the Carabao Cup final at stake. With no major trophy bagged for 70 years, it does feel as if something needs to change at Newcastle and St James’s Park will be rocking here, in an attempt to push Toon over the line.
Team news: Callum Wilson and Jamal Lascelles are out of action here for Newcastle.
Newcastle United Predicted Lineup:
Pope, Trippier, Botman, Schar, Hall, Tonali, Joelinton, Guimaraes, Murphy, Isak & Gordon.
Arsenal
Whilst Arsenal have managed to keep pace in the Premier League of late, the reality of the situation is that they have some serious work to do if they are to claw back Liverpool. Cup competitions have been welcome distractions for the Gunners in recent seasons, but this is a big ask here in the North East. The Gunners were wasteful in defeat against Newcastle last month and they arrive at St James’s Park, needing to overturn a 2-0 deficit from the first leg.
Team news: Ben White, Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus and Takehiro Tomiyasu will miss out here for Arsenal.
Arsenal Predicted Lineup:
Raya, Timber, Lewis-Skelly, Gabriel, Saliba, Rice, Odegaard, Trossard, Havertz, Nwaneri & Martinelli.
Newcastle United vs Arsenal Prediction
With Newcastle 2-0 up from the first leg, the situation is pretty clear for both sides here. Newcastle reached the 2023 Carabao Cup final, coming up short against Manchester United, but they know what is at stake for them here. Meanwhile, Arsenal are chasing this one big time, 2-0 down from the first leg and in need of some inspiration – particularly in forward areas. This may end up being a tight game, with Arsenal potentially winning on the night.
Prediction: Arsenal to win the match – 9/4 (+225) – Rhino Bet.
Newcastle United vs Arsenal – The Ultimate Bet
Arsenal to win & BTTS – 7/2 (+350) – Fitzdares
Newcastle will make this very tough for Arsenal and with a 2-0 lead in the tie, Toon should go through but Arsenal could end up winning this one on the night.
