Gunners to Win in the 90?

Arsenal make the trip to Newcastle on Wednesday hoping to overturn a two-goal deficit. The Magpies have beaten the Gunners twice this season, but the London side are the favourites to win in normal time on Wednesday.

Eddie Howe’s men were excellent in the first leg, leaving the capital with a deserved 2-0 win. The superb Alexander Isak opened the scoring just before half time, and Anthony Gordon doubled their advantage after the break. In the league match in November, Isak netted the only goal.

Arsenal will still be buzzing from Sunday’s huge 5-1 Premier League victory over Manchester City, and Mikel Arteta’s men will fancy their chances of winning in the 90 in midweek. We like the look of 3.10 for the away team to win -1.

Reds to Keep a Clean Sheet

The second semi-final sees Liverpool and Tottenham battle at Anfield on Thursday. The Reds have work to do after a narrow first-leg defeat in London, but Arne Slot’s men are the favourites to reach Wembley Stadium.

Slot has had a sensational first season on Merseyside. Liverpool finished top of the UEFA Champions League table and are six points clear at the Premier League’s summit. The Reds are also still in the EFL Cup and FA Cup.

Tottenham have had a woeful Premier League campaign thus far, but Sunday’s win at Brentford was a step in the right direction for Ange Postecoglou and his troops. Spurs also lead Liverpool in this semi-final tie thanks to a 1-0 home victory in January.

Slot’s boys are certainly capable of turning the tie on its head. The hosts have kept a hatful of clean sheets this season, and we are backing Liverpool to win to nil here at 2.50.
