A month after a pair of intriguing first legs, the EFL Cup semifinals return this week as underdogs Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur hope to convert their respective advantages over Arsenal and Liverpool into a spot in the final on March 16.

Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe has confirmed that midfielder Joelinton is a major ‘doubt’ for his side’s crucial Carabao Cup semi-final against Arsenal on Wednesday night. DAILY POST reports that Joelinton suffered a potentially costly injury during Newcastle’s Premier League 2-1 defeat to Fulham last weekend.

Arsenal have received a boost in their bid to overturn their Carabao Cup semi-final defeat to Newcastle United. The Gunners are determined to win the competition, but they face a tough challenge as they need to overturn a 2-0 deficit to reach the final.
