Newcastle’s hold on the EFL Cup is hanging by a thread after last month’s 2-0 home loss to Manchester City , who are expected to finish the job off in their semi-final second-leg clash.
Both teams will be disappointed with their respective results since meeting at St James’ Park , but the Magpies appear to have far more serious problems at present.
Pep Guardiola isn’t the type to take anything for granted and ease off here, so 4/5 for the Blues to prevail again is our initial Man City vs Newcastle prediction.

Head To Head
Man City vs Newcastle Head-To-Head Record
Newcastle did upset City with a 2-1 Premier League success on Tyneside in November, but their record at Etihad Stadium makes horrible reading for the Toon Army.
The Magpies have lost on each of their last 11 visits to this venue, conceding 37 goals in the process and scoring just three themselves. City have won the last seven meetings here without conceding a single goal and are 5/2 to win to nil again in the Man City vs Newcastle odds.

The Blues suffered another blow to their Premier League title hopes when surrendering a two-goal lead in Sunday’s 2-2 draw at Tottenham. Guardiola felt aggrieved after Spurs ’ first goal was allowed to stand despite Dominic Solanke bundling home via a kick through defender Marc Guehi’s leg.
However, the Spaniard took some positives from an improving injury situation, stating: “Players are coming back and I saw incredibly good spirit and many things.” Guardiola’s side have also recently lost away to neighbours United in that competition and at Bodo/Glimt in the Champions League.
However, they did finish off last month with 2-0 home victories over Wolves and Galatasaray and are 4/1 to oblige by exactly two goals once more here.
Newcastle Form Guide
The Magpies have saved their best for European games of late, beating PSV Eindhoven 3-0 at home and drawing 1-1 away to Champions League holders PSG . However, their domestic form has been far less impressive, with just one point picked up from three Premier League outings and that was a goalless stalemate against basement dwellers Wolves .
United went down 2-0 against Aston Villa at St James’ Park and were pummelled 4-1 when visiting Liverpool on Saturday, despite taking the lead. Newcastle were crushed 4-0 by City in the league at this venue approximately 12 months ago, when Omar Marmoush hit a hat-trick.
The Egypt striker missed the first leg of this tie due to AFCON duties but scored on his only previous EFL Cup outing at Swansea earlier this season. Let’s hope that Erling Haaland is given a rest and take 11/2 for Marmoush to open the scoring in our Man City vs Newcastle betting tips.
