preamble
Hello and welcome to live coverage of the first FA Cup quarter-finals in Newcastle in 14 years. After defeating Rochdale, Oxford and West Brom in the previous rounds, they are now playing on the highest level of difficulty in the competition: Manchester City. Pep Guardiola’s team will be in the mood to have Newcastle paid for Liverpool’s league win. Despite the pitiful defense of their championship title, City could still end the season with three big trophies, so these aren’t exactly the end times for Etihad.
Newcastle have a 2-2 draw with City in the league and are in excellent shape themselves. So you will feel that you have a great chance of opening up the competition. The game will be decided tonight, with extra time and penalties if necessary. The winners will be Manchester United, Arsenal and
Chelsea in the past four.
