Is Newcastle United v Arsenal on TV? Where to catch the Carabao Cup semi-final

People say 2-0 is a dangerous lead - it really shouldn’t be, not with the right mindset. And that’s what Eddie Howe will be hoping for from his Newcastle United players tonight.

Goals from Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon ensured the Magpies take a two-goal lead into tonight’s second leg against Mikel Arteta’s men, with a final against Tottenham Hotspur or Liverpool the prize.

But, if you haven’t got a ticket for the game, where can you watch it? Here’s some details of how to keep up to date with everything going on St James’ Park.

The game will kick off at 8pm GMT on Wednesday, February 5.
