The Gunners are expected to capitalise on a Newcastle dip on form but will it be enough?
20:00 Wednesday
Newcastle take a two goal lead back to St James' Park this evening as they look to take a big step towards ending a 70-year trophy drought.
Newcastle vs Arsenal Prediction
- Newcastle are 90 minutes away from Wembley and hold a two-goal advantage over Arsenal heading into Wednesday's game.
- The Magpies have endured a wobble of late, losing their last two home games. Since their EFL Cup loss to Newcastle and the subsequent FA Cup defeat at the hands of Manchester United, Arsenal are unbeaten in six, winning five, following Sunday's 5-1 win over Manchester City.
- Newcastle have won three of their last four home games against Arsenal, but the Gunners may capitalise upon the Magpies' home dip to claim a victory, though it may not be enough to secure their spot in the EFL Cup final.

Arsenal are coming into this game off the back of what could be a season changing win over Man City and are certainly the side with confidence going into this.
Newcastle, meanwhile, have lost their last two home games against Bournemouth and Fulham, ending a nine-game winning streak.
Arsenal are the side with work to do here and with Newcastle holding a two goal lead they don't need to win to progress which could set up an Arsenal win here. If Newcastle find themselves just a goal down going into the final stages of this game we could see them happy to defend that and take a loss.
Ethan Nwanari made an instant impact off the bench against Man City scoring within eight minutes of entering the pitch.
He is playing with a great deal of confidence for his age, has two goals in his last three Premier League games, three goals in three appearances in the League Cup and is averaging 1.64 shots on target per 90 in all competitions (the highest in the Arsenal team).
Tonali has had a shot in each of his last 11 Premier League games and every League Cup game this season including the reverse fixture.
