The EFL Cup is back in action with another round of matches this week as Newcastle United lock horns with Mikel Arteta's Arsenal side in an important semifinal encounter at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday. Both teams have good players in their ranks and will want to win this game.
Arsenal vs Newcastle United Preview
Newcastle United are in fifth place in the Premier League standings and have stepped up to the plate in recent weeks. The away side edged Tottenham Hotspur to a narrow 2-1 victory over the weekend and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
Arsenal, on the other hand, are in second place in the league table and have been inconsistent this season. The Gunners were held to a disappointing 1-1 draw by Brighton & Hove Albion in their previous game and will need to take it up a notch this week.
