LIVE - Manchester City v Newcastle: Commentary, updates, goals and stats for EFL Cup semi-final, 2nd leg
"The second goal in the first game was obviously a big disappointment for us, coming so late, but we still believe and we have to believe. I believe we have got the players that can go to any stadium in the world and perform and score goals. I think collectively the spirit within the group is there."
"Newcastle have it all to do tonight if they are to overturn a 2-0 first-leg deficit against Manchester City at the Etihad. Goals from Antoine Semenyo and Rayan Cherki at St James' Park put City in the driving seat and they are odds-on favourites to finish the job and set up an EFL Cup final against Arsenal on March 22. The visitors have injuries in midfield but will hope to perform better than they did at Anfield on Saturday when they lost 4-1 to Liverpool."
Manchester City host Newcastle at the Etihad with a 2-0 aggregate advantage after goals from Antoine Semenyo and Rayan Cherki at St James' Park. City are odds-on favourites to progress and would meet Arsenal in the EFL Cup final on March 22 if they finish the job. Newcastle arrive with midfield injuries and need a marked improvement after a 4-1 defeat at Liverpool. Belief persists in the Newcastle squad about their ability to perform and score away from home despite the late setback in the first leg. The fixture presents a significant challenge against a strong home side.
