Liverpool vs Newcastle – Predicted lineup and team news | OneFootball

Liverpool take on Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley this afternoon.

The first silverware of the season will be decided in the capital, as Arne Slot looks to win his first trophy with the Reds.

Liverpool’s focus returns to domestic competitions, following their exit from the Champions League to Paris Saint-Germain. A shootout defeat ended hopes of European success, but the Merseysiders are still well positioned for a memorable campaign.

Liverpool won the League Cup last season and are bidding for a record-extending 11th title. Newcastle, in contrast, have not won a major domestic trophy in 70 years. The Magpies have never won the League Cup, though finished as runners-up in 1976 and 2023.
