"Still, here we are, and the chances of high drama aren't great, seeing Newcastle are two goals down and away at Manchester City, who Eddie Howe has faced 20 times in his managerial career and lost on 17 of those occasions. But his side did notch a rare win over City three months ago, and Newcastle have knocked them out of the League Cup twice in the last 11 seasons, so there is precedent to clutch at, albeit in straw form."
"Show key events only Please turn on JavaScript to use this feature We could do with this game being more entertaining than last night's overly mannered offering at the Emirates. Like Arsenal, in their first cup final for six years, will care about anyone's opinion of that. Still, here we are, and the chances of high drama aren't great, seeing Newcastle are two goals down and away at Manchester City,"
Manchester City lead Newcastle 2-0 in an away cup match, with kick-off at 8pm GMT and VAR in use. Eddie Howe has faced Manchester City 20 times as a manager and lost 17 of those matches, though Newcastle beat City three months ago. Newcastle have eliminated Manchester City from the League Cup twice in the past 11 seasons, offering limited precedent for a comeback. The match may lack high drama given the deficit, but a first goal for Newcastle could change momentum. The previous Arsenal final at the Emirates was described as overly mannered and less entertaining.
