We saw a surprise in the EFL Cup semi-final match and it was very interesting and exciting. Arsenal lost the match and they are very likely to be eliminated from the semi-finals. Newcastle played strongly and with excitement which resulted in them achieving a good result to qualify for the final. Newcastle are two goals ahead in the first leg of the semi-final, of course they will be even stronger against Arsenal in the second leg to qualify for the final. I think Arsenal may not be able to score as many goals in the second leg so their chances of going to the final are also very low.
Considering the line up composition, Arsenal played with all main players against Newcastle United at EFL Cup semifinal but they can get victory after losing over 0-2, although have dominance with ball possession more than 70% but can't help Arsenal for securing the winning result at the first leg match. The victory on first leg make Newcastle United more confidence for second leg match because have two margin goals make its easily get qualify to final round just being draw or defeating under 2 goals.
Newcastle United at good trend recently after success winning 7 matches in a row all competition and currently break to the 5th standings position in Premier League behind one point left from Chelsea and 5 points left from Arsenal who leading the 2nd place. Due second leg break more than one month later have opportunity for Newcastle United secure the final place because not participants in Champion League or Europe League than Arsenal have busy schedule matches.
