Gunners to Edge Past Magpies

Two form sides go head-to-head at the Emirates on Tuesday, as Arsenal entertain Newcastle. The Magpies are in red-hot form, but Eddie Howe’s side are the underdogs in this one.

The Gunners dropped points in the Premier League at the weekend, drawing 1-1 at Brighton & Hove Albion. However, the point extended their unbeaten run to 13 games in all competitions.

Newcastle have won six league and cup fixtures in a row and are flying right now. At the weekend, United edged past Spurs at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to move to within just one point of the UEFA Champions League places.

With Newcastle in such fine fettle, this will not be an easy game for Arsenal. Nevertheless, we fancy Mikel Arteta’s men to edge this first leg on home turf. The hosts are priced at 1.73 to get the win.

Arsenal Win – 1.73

Reds to See Off Spurs Again

The second semi sees Tottenham and Liverpool lock horns, with the first leg taking place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The Reds won 6-3 when the pair met in the English capital in the Premier League last month.

Tottenham will gladly take a break from the league after suffering another defeat last time out. Ange Postecoglou’s boys are having a miserable time in the Premier League, losing half of their 20 matches.

In contrast, Liverpool are riding high at the top of the Premier League table, winning 14 of 19. The Reds have suffered just one defeat in 28 league and cup matches under new boss Arne Slot.

After drawing with rivals Manchester United on Sunday, Liverpool will be looking to bounce back with a win in the cup on Wednesday. We like the look of 1.91 for the away team to win -1.
