The first leg of both semifinal games are scheduled to be played during January 12, 2026. The return legs will be played during February 2, 2026; Man City will host the second leg of its tie against Newcastle at the Etihad Stadium with the first leg taking place at St. James’ Park.
Manchester City beat Brentford 2-0 earlier on Wednesday, December 17 with goals coming from Rayan Chreki’s stunning strike and Savinho’s second half finish.
For Newcastle, it was a dream debut for DR Congo forward Yoane Wissa who started as a Newcastle player for the first time since joining the club from Brentford this past offseason.
After being sidelined for several months with a knee injury, Wissa made his debut as a starter and delivered an immediate impact by scoring in the 11th minute.
Midfielder Lewis Miley scored the winning goal in the 94th minute to give Newcastle a 2-1 win over Fulham and book the Magpies’ place in the semifinals with an eye to repeat as Carabao Cup Champions.
