Newcastle's grip on the EFL Cup is slipping and they will need to mount a sensational comeback against Manchester City tonight to avoid it falling out of their grasp.
The holders lost 2-0 at St James' Park in the first leg of the semi-final and head to the Etihad in low spirits after losing 4-1 at Anfield on Premier League duty.
Eddie Howe's men will take heart from City's patchy league form but it's hard to see the Magpies turning this tie around away from home.
Manchester City vs Newcastle United top betting tips
It will be interesting to see what kind of team Pep Guardiola picks tonight as he has a massive Premier League match looming against Liverpool at the weekend.
I'd imagine he'll freshen things up and Phil Foden could start after a late cameo at Spurs. The playmaker's form has dipped of late but he's still a big threat and is 6/5 at BetMGM to score or assist.
Howe put both his centre forwards on the bench on Saturday but should bring at least one of them back as he needs two goals to stand any chances.
It bodes well for action at both ends and combining BTTS with over 2.5 goals pays 10/11 with Coral.

Aberdeen vs Celtic
Martin O'Neill has kept Celtic in the SPFL Premiership title race but has another tricky hurdle to negotiate tonight away to Aberdeen.
A midweek trip to Pittodrie in the depths of winter is always a test of mettle and the Hoops ground out a 1-0 win in awful conditions in the north east last season.
But they can take some heart from the fact the Dons are on a downer after crashing 3-0 on the road at struggling Kilmarnock last weekend.
That came after a 6-2 home win over Livingston so it's hard to know what Aberdeen team will turn up tonight.
The fact the Lions also scored twice suggests Celtic's forwards will get a bit of joy and new signing Tomas Cvancara is 15/8 at BetVictor to grab his second goal for the club.
Kevin Nisbet scored twice in Aberdeen's last home game and I also like the 31/20 on offer at BetMGM for him to have an effort on target tonight.
Rangers vs Kilmarnock
Rangers fell below Celtic into third on goal difference after drawing 0-0 away to Hibs on Sunday but should get back on track with a home win over Kilmarnock tonight.
Killie are buoyed by that weekend win over Aberdeen but they had gone 17 matches without a win before that.
They look ill-equipped for a trip to Ibrox and I like the evens on offer at SkyBet for Rangers to be winning at half-time and full-time.
Andreas Skov Olsen was the marquee sigining for Danny Rohl in the winter window but has been quiet in his two outings so far.
The Danish winger should start making an impact soon and he's a decent 13/5 at McBookie for an assist against Kilmarnock.

This game shouldn’t be as bad as last nights. At least with Newcastle you know what your going to get, same can be said of City. Newcastle 2-0 down should be a cracker.
Best of luck
