Liverpool Preview & Form
Liverpool will arrive at the Wembley Stadium following their penalty shootout exit from the Champions League round of 16 in the midweek against PSG at Anfield. The Reds will now be desperate to avoid back to back defeats following their impressive form in this year’s campaign. The Merseysiders have won the EFL title the most with a record of ten times following the Reds beating Chelsea 1-0 in the extra minutes last year thanks to Virgil van Dijk’s header in the 118th minute. Arne Slot will be hoping his side can secure the Reds’ first silverware since taking over from his predecessor Jurgen Klopp at the club. Arne Slot’s side made the progress to the final of this year’s EFL cup by overturning Tottenham on a 4-1 aggregate.
Newcastle United Preview & Form
Newcastle United will arrive in the Carabao Cup final on the back of huge desperation to win their first major domestic trophy since 1955.

Last weekend in the Premier League, the Magpies claimed a 1-0 victory over West Ham on Monday night to boost their hope of Champions League qualification. The Magpies had earlier displayed a solid performance in their first meeting against Liverpool in the first half of the season by holding the Reds to a 3-3 draw at St James Park and Eddie Howe will hope his side can put in a good fight in this game.
