Part 2/8:
Historically, the odds are not in Arsenal's favor. Out of 32 instances in League Cup history where a team has fallen two goals short in the first leg, only one team has managed to turn the tide and reach the final. This statistic casts a shadow over Arsenal's hopes, making the prospect of a comeback even more challenging. However, a swift first goal could dramatically shift the energy, instilling doubt in Newcastle and prompting a thrilling contest.
Arsenal's track record at St James's Park is less than ideal, with only one win from their last four trips. Nevertheless, the team exudes determination, knowing their performance in the upcoming fixture must not only reflect sheer talent but also an unwavering spirit.
