This is a competition that means plenty to both teams. Newcastle were last here in 2023, losing to Manchester United, an experience that will still sit with them. Liverpool have won the EFL Cup a record 10 times, last winning in the 2023-24 season in a triumph over Chelsea.

Newcastle have conceded only two goals in their six EFL Cup ties against Nottingham Forest, AFC Wimbledon, Chelsea, Brentford and Arsenal, who were beaten 4-0 on aggregate in the two-legged semi-final.

The EFL Carabao Cup Final is set with two premiere English Football League clubs going head-to-head for glory on the pitch. The English football tournament started with more than 90 football clubs and the final two teams play for the EFL Cup.
