You shouldn't run into conclusions on which club will be in the finals. Liverpool is still hopeful than Arsenal, because Tottenham only scored one goal. If Liverpool can win with two goals ahead, they will definitely be in the finals because Tottenham is not consistent. Arsenal might not qualify to the finals, because they need three goals to be in the finals and Newcastle is consistent in their matches.
For Liverpool, there is still a chance and possibility to qualify when Liverpool hosts Tottenham at Anfield in the EFL Cup this season. As for Arsenal, I myself am still a bit doubtful because the team that was unable to win at home when hosting Newcastle. So it will be a bit difficult for Arsenal to win by many goals when Arsenal plays at Newcastle's home in the EFL Cup semifinals, although it is not impossible for Arsenal fans to hope for.
When the match is played with two legs, then of course there will still be a chance for the team that lost the first leg. After all, the team that lost in the first leg also at least has the quality to make a comeback in the second leg later. About Arsenal, despite losing 2-0 in the first leg but yes, I am personally still quite confident Arsenal are also able to make a comeback in the second leg later although indeed, of course it will be very difficult to beat Newcastle with an aggregate of two goals like that. But about Liverpool, because they only lost with a thin score of 1-0, then of course Liverpool still have a very big chance to beat Tottenham in the second leg later.
Watching the game yesterday it was a tight game. But I think Liverpool is going to be victorious and will be in the final, Van Dijk said he is already anticipating for the second leg which is on 6th February. Liverpool will be more ready for that game, Liverpool wasn’t really at there best but when they are ready to play a game of football nothing can stop them and Tottenham already knows this that the game is far from over it was just the first half of the game played. Liverpool has more cance of qualifying than Arsenal. Newcastle is a strong team right now they are in a good form. Arsenal will be all out to press them in the second leg, but I don’t see them winning or qualifying, I will be predicting Liverpool ve Newcastle in the Finals.
