Liverpool look to defend their Carabao Cup title when they face Newcastle United in the final at Wembley Stadium.

Liverpool and Newcastle United meet in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley this afternoon. The Reds are back to defend their crown after beating Chelsea in last year’s final but there are injury concerns for the Premier League leaders.

This is a competition that means plenty to both teams. Newcastle were last here in 2023, losing to Manchester United, an experience that will still sit with them. Liverpool have won the EFL Cup a record 10 times, last winning in the 2023-24 season in a triumph over Chelsea.
