Ready for a trip down memory lane that’ll test even the most die-hard football fans? Imagine this: October 2014, Manchester City vs Newcastle United—a match that’s now a trivia goldmine. But here’s where it gets tricky: Can you name the starting line-ups from that day? And this is the part most people miss—one of Newcastle’s centre midfielders was making just their 21st appearance for the club. Talk about a deep cut! Fast forward to today, and Eddie Howe’s Newcastle are back at the Etihad Stadium, desperate to end an 11-game winless streak against City to keep their Carabao Cup dreams alive. Sounds familiar? Well, their last win here was in this very competition back in 2014, when Alan Pardew’s young squad stunned the holders in the fourth round before bowing out in the quarters. Controversial take: Was that 2014 victory a fluke, or a sign of Newcastle’s untapped potential? Either way, this quiz is no walk in the park. You’ve got seven minutes—good luck, and let us know in the comments if you think Newcastle can pull off another upset this time around!
