Newcastle beat Arsenal 4-0 on aggregate in the semi-final. Liverpool beat Tottenham 4-1 on aggregate. The exact time of the final at Wembley has not yet been set, but the date has been set for March 16.
Last year, the final match took place at 3pm (GMT), which is 9pm Vietnam time. Depending on weather conditions and the number of sponsors and advertisers, the time will be determined by the organizers later.
This season's League Cup final will coincide with the 29th round of the Premier League. Liverpool and Newcastle will not be participating and will be scheduled to play in different weeks. Newcastle will have their match against Crystal Palace postponed and the time has not been set. Meanwhile, Liverpool's away match at Villa Park will take place at 11:30 p.m. on February 19 (Vietnam time).
For Fantasy Premier League fans, the current League Cup final schedule will have some repercussions. Postponed or postponed matches have had a significant impact on the way the EFL organisers arrange games.
Liverpool will be absent from the Premier League for the 29th round of fixtures, meaning they will have to play two games a week after that. Liverpool's rivals Newcastle will also be affected.
The League Cup winners qualify for the UEFA Conference League play-offs. If they win the two-legged play-offs, they will qualify for the classification round of Europe's third-tier competition.
However, if the League Cup winners are in the Premier League top five at the end of the season, the Conference League play-off place will go to the next team that does not qualify. If the FA Cup winners (who qualify for the Europa League) finish in the top five, and the League Cup winners finish in the top six, the above situation still applies.
Last season, Liverpool won the League Cup but qualified for the Champions League (finishing third) so their Conference League play-off spot was vacated. It was given to Chelsea (finishing sixth). Previously, Tottenham (finishing fifth) and Man United (winning the FA Cup) were the two representatives in the Europa League.
Currently, Liverpool are leading the Premier League table while Newcastle are in 6th place but only 2 points behind the Top 4. The Magpies have never given up on their ambition to finish the season in the Top 4 of the Premier League to secure a ticket straight to the Champions League qualifying round next season.
In the 65-year history of the League Cup, Liverpool have reached the final 14 times and won 10 times (a record). Meanwhile, Newcastle have not won any domestic titles since 1955. The Magpies have also never won the League Cup despite reaching the final twice. They lost to Man City in 1976 and to Man United in 2023.
