Arsenal host Newcastle tonight as both sides look to take the upper hand in their Carabao Cup semi-final first leg at the Emirates. Mikel Arteta ’s side are unbeaten in 13 games across all competitions and reached the final four of this competition after a topsy-turvy 3-2 win against Crystal Palace last month.

The Carabao Cup is down to the last four with the two winners over two legs between now and early February booking their berths at the March 16 final at Wembley Stadium. Before that, each team gets a chance to play at home in front of their own supporters with Arsenal,
