BBC Sport chief football writer at St. James' ParkThings have settled down at St. James' Park - just a touch anyway.
Arsenal have certainly not given this away, but Newcastle United are looking relatively comfortable and that three-goal aggregate lead looks very formidable.

Phil McNulty
BBC Sport chief football writer at St. James' ParkWhat a start with plenty of action at both ends in this incredible atmosphere.
Arsenal have had their chances. They will regret that big miss by Martin Odegaard second's before Jacob Murphy's opener.
Newcastle's fans can scent Wembley already - and what an advantage they have.

Image source, Getty ImagesNewcastle United's worst fears have been confirmed as Joelinton is ruled out with the knee injury that troubled him during the defeat against Fulham here on Saturday.
The Brazilian's power and threat would have been a significant threat this evening. Sven Botman comes in, suggesting manager Eddie Howe may use a three-man central defence.
Interesting change as right-back, where 34-year-old former England defender Kieran Trippier - who has been linked with a move to Galatasary - comes in to replace Tino Livramento.
Cool heads will be needed in this hothouse atmosphere on Tyneside and Howe will look to Trippier to provide that quality.
Arsenal? Simple.
Same team that beat Manchester City 5-1 on Sunday, preaumably with the message to go out and do it all over again.
Nerves around Newcastlepublished at 19:04 Greenwich Mean Time 5 February
Newcastle v Arsenal (20:00)
Phil McNulty
BBC Sport chief football writer at St. James' ParkNewcastle United fans were in confident mood after that superb 2-0 win at Arsenal in the first leg of this Carabao Cup semi-final - but the mood has shifted somewhat in the intervening month.
You can sense the nervousness talking to Newcastle fans around St. James' Park, not helped by recent home defeats against Bournemouth and Fulham.
The Gunners will be in buoyant mood after thrashing Manchester City 5-1 on Sunday.
If Arsenal strike early, those nerves will be jangling even more, but Newcastle have the precious advantage and the other message from those fans chimes exactly with what manager Eddie Howe said before the game.
No just sitting on that 2-0 lead.
