Manchester City and Newcastle United have confirmed their starting lineups ahead of tonight’s Carabao Cup semi-final second-leg tie at the Etihad Stadium. Pep Guardiola’s side

Manchester City is once again competing for a Premier League championship, but is also hoping to erase the memories of recent failures in the FA Cup. Since the team’s treble in 2023, ManCity has lost in back-to-back finals, falling to rival Manchester United and Crystal Palace.

Manchester City let not one but two leads, and perhaps the Premier League title, slip away on Wednesday as they labored their way to a 2-2 with relegation-threatened Nottingham Forest.

Pep Guardiola believes his new-look squad needs time after a third consecutive Champions League exit to Real Madrid.
