Match Info

Competition: Carabao Cup (Semi-Final, First Leg)
Date: 13 January 2026
Kick-off: 20:00 (UK)
Venue: St James’ Park

Newcastle United continue their Carabao Cup title defence with a huge home test against Manchester City, who are chasing yet another piece of domestic silverware and edging closer to Liverpool’s all-time EFL Cup record. St. James’ Park has become a fortress this season, but few visitors challenge that status quite like Pep Guardiola’s side.

Teams Form and Stats

Newcastle arrive with momentum but not without fatigue. Their FA Cup tie against Bournemouth went the full distance, eventually being settled on penalties. Even so, the win extended the Magpies’ impressive run to four consecutive victories, and more importantly, strengthened their exceptional home form. Newcastle have won 11 of their last 13 matches at home (D2), scoring freely and unsettling some of the league’s strongest sides. That includes their Premier League win over City earlier this season, and earlier EFL Cup victories over Tottenham and Fulham at St. James’ Park.

Manchester City, meanwhile, enter this first leg in ruthless cup form. The eight-time winners have coasted through the Carabao Cup so far, winning all three ties by a two-goal margin, including a smooth 2-0 dispatching of Brentford in the previous round. Their weekend 10–1 demolition of Exeter City was an outlier in scoreline but not in performance; City’s depth and cup focus were on full display. Away from home they remain extremely competitive too, with four wins and a draw from their last five competitive away games.
