Manchester City booked their place in the 2026 EFL Cup Final with a dominant 5–1 aggregate victory over the defending champions, Newcastle United. The first leg was a cagey affair that exploded in the second half. Newcastle's Yoane Wissa hit the woodwork twice early in the second period, but City was far more clinical. New signing Antoine Semenyo prodded home from close range in the 53rd minute after a low cross from Jeremy Doku. Deep into stoppage time (90+8'), Rayan Cherki swept in a low cross from Rayan Aït-Nouri to secure a commanding two-goal cushion for the second leg.

Pep Guardiola’s side effectively ended the tie within the first 35 minutes of the return leg. Omar Marmoush was the star of the night, scoring twice in the opening half-hour (7' and 29'). His first goal was a scrappy effort that deflected off Dan Burn, while his second was a clinical header from a Semenyo cross. Tijjani Reijnders made it 3–0 just three minutes later with a powerful low strike from 10 yards out, making the aggregate score an insurmountable 5–0.

Newcastle pulled one back in the 62nd minute through a solo effort from Anthony Elanga, but it wasn't enough to spark a comeback.

Arsenal reached the 2025-26 EFL Cup Final after a hard-fought two-legged semi-final victory over Chelsea. Arsenal advanced to the final with a 4–2 aggregate score. Arsenal took a narrow lead in a five-goal thriller. Ben White opened the scoring early, followed by goals from Viktor Gyokeres and Martin Zubimendi. Despite a late brace from Chelsea’s Alejandro Garnacho, the Gunners secured a 3–2 away win.

The return leg was a more disciplined affair. Chelsea struggled to break down Arsenal's defense for much of the night. The tie was finally put beyond doubt in the 97th minute when Kai Havertz scored a dramatic late winner to secure a 1–0 victory (4–2 aggregate).
