Tuesday, January 13, will see Newcastle look to continue their defence of the Carabao Cup, as they take on Manchester City in the first leg of the 2025/26 semi-final.
The Magpies produced one of the games of the season in their latest English Premier League match, in which they came from behind three times to defeat Leeds 4-3 late into stoppage time.
Manager Eddie Howe’s side then needed a penalty shoot-out to squeeze past Bournemouth in Saturday’s FA Cup third-round tie.
The result came after a 3-3 draw, which saw a late penalty take the game beyond 90 minutes and both sides score in the dying minutes of extra time.
The reigning Carabao Cup champions now face Manchester City in their fourth consecutive home match at the beginning of this year.
Tuesday night’s visitors blew League One Exeter out of the water on Saturday, January 10, as they cruised to a 10-1 victory in their FA Cup opener.
That result was City’s first win of 2026, following three consecutive draws to Sunderland, Chelsea and Brighton.
Manager Pep Guardiola’s side lack defenders through injury, though new signing Antoine Semenyo will be high on confidence after netting on his debut in that FA Cup win.
What are the best bets for Newcastle vs Man City?
Newcastle to win
The Magpies are undefeated in their last 13 home matches, winning 11, and have already beaten Tuesday’s opponents when the two met at St James’ Park in the Premier League earlier this season.
Both teams to score
Seven of Newcastle’s last eight home matches have seen both teams find the net.
This also landed in this season’s head-to-head match.
Harvey Barnes to score or assist
The winger is the man of the moment for his side, having netted four goals in his last two appearances.
Barnes netted both goals when the two sides met in November.
