City reached the last eight after Pep Guardiola’s side thumped Luton Town at the Kenilworth Road on Tuesday with Erling Haaland scoring five of those goals while Newcastle only managed to beat Blackburn Rovers on penalties.
Meanwhile, on Wednesday, Casemiro’s late header helped Manchester United overcome Nottingham Forest to reach the quarter-finals of the competition where they were finalists last season, setting up a heavy clash against Liverpool.
With a relatively young team, Jurgen Klopp’s side defeated Southampton 3-0 at Anfield on Wednesday to reach the last eight.
In the other quarter-finals matches, Chelsea, who overpowered Leeds United in a 3-2 win on Wednesday will face Wilfred Ndidi and Kelechi Iheanacho’s Leicester City while Wolves host Coventry.
