Liverpool and Newcastle will compete for the English League Cup title at Wembley. For The Kop, this is an opportunity to defend their championship. They are also the most successful team in the tournament with 10 titles.
In contrast, Newcastle have never won the English League Cup, but have reached the final twice. In the 2022-2023 season, the Magpies became runners-up after losing to Man United. That defeat prolonged the wait when the Magpies last won a major title in12.
Since being taken over by wealthy owners from Saudi Arabia, Newcastle have been eager to win the championship to affirm their position. Therefore, this final match will receive great expectations from Eddie Howe and his team.
Arne Slot's team just had to spend 120 minutes with PSG in the Champions League in midweek, so the players could not help but feel tired mentally and physically. That is an advantage for Newcastle when they have a week off. This match promises to be very dramatic as both teams have had good squads and stable performance in recent times.
