Liverpool, the most successful club in EFL Cup history, fresh from their UEFA Champions League exit at the hands of PSG, aim to retain their title as they face Newcastle United in Sunday’s final at Wembley Stadium.
The Reds are determined to extend their domestic dominance, while Newcastle seek to end a near 70-year wait for a major trophy. The Magpies lost last season’s final and are eager to make amends in their second consecutive EFL Cup showpiece.
🔴Liverpool Aim for Back-to-Back EFL Cup Titles | Home Win = 1.71💵
Liverpool have won four of their last five matches across all competitions, proving their title credentials. Arne Slot’s men are on track for a domestic double, leading the Premier League by 15 points while eyeing another EFL Cup triumph.
Despite their Champions League exit against PSG, the Reds have remained strong in cup competitions and will look to give their fans something to smile about following that shock exit as they try to outclass Newcastle once again.
⚫Newcastle Look to End Trophy Drought | Away Win = 4.98💵
Newcastle’s long wait for silverware could finally end at Wembley. Eddie Howe’s side secured a narrow 1-0 victory over West Ham last weekend, keeping their first clean sheet in five matches.
However, the Magpies have failed to beat Liverpool in their last 17 encounters, including a 2-0 loss at Anfield earlier this season. They must be at their best to avoid another heart-breaking cup final defeat against a wounded Liverpool.
🗝️Key Players & Team News📰:
Liverpool are without Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joe Gomez, and Conor Bradley, leaving them short at right-back. Jarell Quansah is expected to step in, while Ibrahima Konate is likely to partner Virgil van Dijk in defense.
Newcastle are missing Lewis Hall, Sven Botman, and Jamaal Lascelles through injury. Anthony Gordon is suspended, so Harvey Barnes and Jacob Murphy will support Alexander Isak in attack.
