In contrast, Newcastle has never won the Carabao Cup in one of its Guises that were previously beaten twice. Their defeat in the final 2022/23 expanded their wait for a considerable cutlery, with the Magpies recently raised a large trophy in 1955. This drought could end this weekend.
Newcastle has no impressive record against Liverpool – the last time she defeated her in 2015 – but will catch her for a rare fragile moment during Arne Slot’s debut campaign. Played after 120 minutes and unloaded from the Champions League during the week, the magpies were able to use all mental and physical fatigue.
Here is 90 minutes Guide to collide in Wembley.

Trent Alexander-Arnold will be a significant absence for the Reds after suffering an ankle injury against Paris Saint-Germain during the defeat on Tuesday. Slot has confirmed that he is not available for the final, and with Conor Bradley and Joe Gomez Liverpool also has a dilemma in the right -back.
Jarell Quansah, Wataru Endo and even Curtis Jones are taken into account for the role of Newcastle – the slot that indicates that the latter can operate there before the game during his press conference – while there is also the possibility that Kostas Tsimikas or Andy Robertson fill the gap.
Tyler Morton is Liverpool’s only other guaranteed absentee, the midfielder who is currently with one shoulder injury. However, Ibrahima Konate is also doubts after knocking against PSG, but is expected.
Slot has the decision to start Caoimhin Kelleher or Alisson between the sticks, with the former played most of the Carabao Cup games this season. There will probably also be a callback for Cody Gakpo, which has returned from an injury over the week of the week.
Liverpool predicted the line-up against Newcastle (4-2-3-1): Alisson; Quansah, Konate, van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo; Diaz.
Newcastle will be without four players for her trip to the capital, with Anthony Gordon the most devastating absentee. The electric winger – who was once released as a young person from Liverpool – is not available by suspension after it was shown a red card in the fifth defeat of the FA Cup against Brighton & Hove Albion.
Lewis Hall is missing for the rest of the campaign and is replaced by one of Tino Livramento or Kieran Trippier, while Jamaal Lascelles and Sven Botman are missing in the heart of defense.
Harvey Barnes will fill the emptiness left behind by Gordon’s suspension, while Martin Dubravka could be used in the start of the Cup competitions this season.
Newcastle predicted Lineup VS Liverpool (4-3-3): Dubravka; Trippier, crowd, burn, livramento; Guimaraes, Tonali, Joelinton; Murphy, Isak, Barnes.
Liverpool’s excursion a week could demand its toll on Sunday, and Newcastle has not been in use since last Monday. The Reds played far more football than their Tyneside opponents this season and will still step themselves after their European exit.
Newcastle certainly has the tools to cause chaos, especially in midfield and in attack, but they lack the experience of the red. Your last trip 2022/23 will serve you well, but the pressure could reach you on Sunday.
Liverpool defeated Newcastle with ease a few weeks ago in Anfield and has an incredibly strong record against the Magpies. With their Knockout know -how and their superior squad, they were able to shade a close encounter on the big stage.
