Newcastle have the opportunity to end an extended domestic trophy drought that stretches all the way back to 1955, when they won the FA Cup. They have never won the League Cup but have reached the final twice before, losing to City in 1976 and to Manchester United in 2023.

The Carabao Cup semifinals conclude this week. Here is what awaits the eventual winners, aside from the trophy.

Arsenal have a mountain to climb when they play Newcastle in the second leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final at St. James’ Park on Wednesday. The Gunners are 2-0 down from the first leg and history is not on their side.
