Newcastle Seek Sweet Revenge vs Man City in FA Cup

Former Newcastle defender John Anderson says the FA Cup fifth‑round tie at the Etihad will be a chance to get revenge after the Magpies lost to Manchester City in the Carabao Cup semi‑final.

Newcastle United will host Manchester City in the FA Cup fifth round at the Etihad on Saturday. The Magpies, who have already played City three times this season, see the tie as a chance to avenge their 2‑1 defeat in the Carabao Cup semi‑final.

Former defender John Anderson said the home venue is a plus point, noting that the fifth meeting in six years of domestic cup clashes gives them a unique opportunity. "If you want to win, you have to beat them," Anderson added, hoping for a different outcome than the two semi‑final losses.
