There is no better place to get your season-long ticket to the best football the world has to offer than DStv!

First up on the evening of Wednesday 5 February is Newcastle United v Arsenal at St James Park. The Magpies enjoy a 2-0 lead from the first leg in London last month, with goals from Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon putting them in charge of the tie.

Yet Newcastle manager Eddie Howe insists it is only “half time” in the tie and has urged his team not to fall into the trap of complacency.

“It’s still very much game on and we’ve only done half the work,” Howe said. “These are big wins for us – hopefully that can help us in future games. We have to try and win at any ground and go into any game feeling that we are capable of doing that. When you’re in my shoes you have to be strategic and plan well.”

Gunners boss Mikel Arteta, meanwhile, has faith that his team can turn the semifinal around: “It's just half-time. When I see the team play, and how we deal with a lot of situations and play against a very good team, I must say I have full belief that we can go out there and do it.”

On the evening of Thursday 6 February, Liverpool will look to harness the power of Anfield to make a comeback when they host Tottenham Hotspur. Spurs claimed a 1-0 home win in London last month, courtesy of a first goal for the club from young Swedish striker Lucas Bergvall.

“The good thing for us is that if you ever have to lose a game, it's better that you lose one when there is still a second leg to be played,” said Liverpool manager Arne Slot.

“[It's a] far from ideal starting position for us because they [Spurs] have a really good team, probably some players come back for the second leg. So, far from ideal to lose [the first leg] but if I ever have to lose, I prefer to lose if there's still a leg to be played.”

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou, meanwhile, knows the danger Liverpool pose in the tie despite being behind: “Look, Liverpool don't allow you to dominate the game the way other teams do, and our players every three days are playing a game of football, without rest, and you saw Liverpool at the end [of the first leg], they put on some significant talent, some really good footballers, some top footballers.

“I couldn't do the same, and yet the guys who are out there are consistently doing it, so maybe we're not as dominant as we want it to be, but there's good reason, not through the lack of trying or different intent in terms of how we went about it.”
