Looking forward to final, really want to win it - Slot

Liverpool and Newcastle United clash at Wembley with the first silverware of the season up for grabs in the Carabao Cup final.

Newcastle have not won a major domestic trophy in 70 years and the Magpies will travel down to London with high hopes of ending one of the longest droughts in British sport. Eddie Howe’s side lost the 2023 final to Manchester United and have endured a woeful record against Liverpool in recent years, with the Reds winning seven of their eight meetings since Howe took charge.

Liverpool are the Premier League champions elect but will be looking to win a first trophy under Arne Slot, having gone out of the Champions League to Paris Saint-Germain in midweek. They are the record winners of the League Cup and lifted a 10th title by beating Chelsea under Jurgen Klopp last season. Klopp’s final trophy at Liverpool could be followed by Slot’s first.

The final also puts two of the season’s outstanding forwards head to head as Mohamed Salah faces Alexander Isak. Salah could well be entering the final weeks of his Liverpool career, with his contract running out in the summer, while Newcastle will by relying on the in-demand Isak more than ever after losing Anthony Gordon to suspension.

Liverpool 0-0 Newcastle

4 mins: Newcastle win a free kick inside the final third. It’s slipped to Harvey Barnes who makes a run into the box.

His pull back is deflected and goes out for the first corner of the game.

Newcastle daring to dream

“Get into them” reads a banner in the Newcastle end. Newcastle didn’t really turn up when they faced Manchester United here two years ago. They are a stronger side now and their fans are right up for this.

Alexander Isak is not thinking about future ahead of Carabao Cup final

Newcastle striker Alexander Isak has put talks over his future on hold as he attempts to help end the club’s 70-year wait for a domestic trophy in Sunday’s Carabao Cup final clash with Liverpool.

The 25-year-old Sweden international’s scintillating goalscoring form – he has 22 to his name so far this season – has seen him repeatedly linked with a move away from St James’ Park with Arsenal among the destinations persistently touted.
