Tottenham will be hoping to seal their place at Wembley - for the Carabao Cup final - by winning their impending semi-final against Liverpool. Ange Postecoglou's side already have the advantage following a Lucas Bergvall strike which saw Spurs win the first leg 1-0 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Despite their contrasting positions in the Premier League table, both teams won 2-0 away from home this past weekend. Around 24 hours on from a Mohamed Salah brace helping Liverpool defeat AFC Bournemouth, Son Heung-min set up Pape Matar Sarr for a late second after the Spurs captain's corner was turned into his own net by Vitaly Janelt.
Newcastle are waiting for the winners of this tie - after they beat Arsenal 4-0 on aggregate. Anthony Gordon and Jacob Murphy were both on target in Wednesday's second leg triumph after the former and Alexander Isak sealed a 2-0 win for the Magpies at Emirates Stadium last month.
With Eddie Howe's side dominating their opponents, there was simply no need for any further action beyond the allocated 180 minutes, but it is there if needed. For the first time this season, it is possible that a tie can go to extra-time if the aggregate score finishes as a draw and beyond that, a penalty shoot-out is possible.
It is worth noting that away goals do not count, either, so if Liverpool were winning 2-1 or 3-2 at the final whistle, extra-time and potentially penalties will be needed to decide the winner.
The semi-final stage also saw VAR being used for the first time in the competition, this season, with Spurs on the wrong end of one decision that saw a Dominic Solanke goal disallowed for offside. While the technology is in use, referees have also been confirming the final outcomes of big calls, such as that, to those in the stadium.
Following a review of Solanke's goal, referee Stuart Attwell said: "After a review, Dominic Solanke was in an offside position in the build-up to the goal. Final decision is offside."
