Newcastle vs Arsenal/Liverpool vs Tottenham Preview
Goals from Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon at the Emirates mean Newcastle are huge favourites to reach the Carabao Cup final.
However, the Magpies have lost their last two fixtures at St James’ Park, 4-1 to Bournemouth and most recently 2-1 to Fulham.
Those results will provide Arsenal with additional confidence for Wednesday night following their famous 5-1 win over Manchester City on the weekend.
Overcoming a two-goal deficit at Newcastle is a tall order for anyone, but the Gunners could not have given themselves more of a confidence boost if they tried!
Liverpool and Tottenham both enter their clash on Thursday on the back of solid Premier League away wins, the former beating Bournemouth and the latter defeating Brentford – each by a 2-0 scoreline.
The fact that injury-depleted Spurs kept a rare clean sheet against one of the division’s most potent attacks is ideal preparation for the Anfield test.
But Ange Postecoglou will know all too well that thwarting in-form Mohamed Salah is still a tougher assignment than keeping Bryan Mbeumo and Yoanne Wissa quiet.
And with an additional day of rest, Arne Slot’s Reds will be quietly confident of completing the comeback with relative ease.

Carabao Cup Semi-Final Second Legs Betting Tips
Kai Havertz to score anytime @ 3.38
Havertz has been the subject of criticism this season, but he is Arsenal’s top scorer with 15 goals in all competitions. And after finding the back of the net again in the win over City, we are backing the German to deliver the goods here.
Newcastle vs Arsenal: Over 2.5 goals @ 1.82
Arsenal need to come out firing and this could play into Newcastle’s hands, with chances on the counter. The Magpies’ leaky defence of late also suggests the Gunners could have success of their own. Expect goals in the North East!
Cody Gakpo to score anytime @ 2.31
Dutch star Gakpo has been sensational for Liverpool in this season’s Carabao Cup, netting four goals in four appearances. He appears to be a guaranteed starter on the left, hence why we are tipping him to score again on Thursday.
Liverpool vs Tottenham: Under 3.5 goals @ 2.08
While games involving these two usually yield goals, this market has caught our eye. Of course, the first leg finished 1-0 and with Spurs showing they can defend in the win over Brentford, we may be looking at a narrow(ish) win for Liverpool – or another heroic showing from the visitors!
