Match report in news

  • 90'
    FT: Liverpool 1-2 Newcastle. The Magpies have done it, they are Carabao Cup champions! Burn opened the scoring, Isak doubled, and although Chiesa sent shivers down Newcastle's backs with a stoppage-time goal, it is not enough to deny them from the trophy!
  • 90'
    GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL CHIESA'S GOAL STANDS!! After almost three minutes to review the play, the goal is given. He was through on goal by himself and he sealed it in the bottom corner. Hold your horses, it is not over yet. Late drama and it is 1-2!

    Another foul from Szobozlai on Guimaraes. Newcastle have a free-kick in attack.
  • 69'

Substitution

at Liverpool
  • 67'
    Another change for Liverpool as Mac Allister is subbed off for Gakpo.
  • 66'
    Game has been paused as Isak and Joelinton are both down. Thye are getting treated but let's see if they can continue.
  • 64'
    Massive chance for Isak to put the game to bed! Trippier volleys the ball across to Barnes, who then serves it to Isak, who clips it with an acrobatic move. Kelleher just managed to scoop the ball off the line!
  • 60'
    The game is momentarily paused as Tonali and Szoboszlai collided in the build-up to Jones' chance. The two players are getting treated but they should be good to continue. It will be a free kick in attack for Liverpool after this.
  • 59'
    Fine save from Pope on Jones! First real chance for Liverpool in this second period (maybe the whole game?) but the Magpies shot-stopper denies the Reds.
  • 58'

Goal disallowed

  • 51'
    ISAK SCORES BUT THE OFFSIDE FLAG IS IMMEDIATELY UP!! Joelinton scoops it in, Bruno in front of the keeper and the ball is poked in by Isak. Goal ruled out due to Guimaraes was interfering with play
  • 50'
    Quansah sticks his foot out to block Barnes' cross and it's another corner for the Magpies. All eyes on Burn...
  • 48'
    Diaz looks to feed the ball to Jota in the middle but it is sent away by Burn before the Portguese forward could get on the end of it.
  • 46'
    No changes at half-time on either end.
  • 46'
    Underway for the second half!!!
  • 45'
    HT: Liverpool 0-1 Newcastle. The Magpies were undoubtedly the better side in the first period and, just as the half-time whistle was set to be blown, Dan Burn fired them ahead with a powerful header from Trippier's corner. Still all to play for in the second half but the Premier League leaders will have to up their game if they want to retain their title as Carabao Cup champions.
  • 45'
    Two minutes of added time! It will be extended after the goal.
  • 45'
    GOALLLLLLLLLLL DAN BURN FIRES NEWCASTLE AHEAD!! Trippier picks out the big defender and what a header from him. No chance for Kelleher and the Magpies - fully deservingly - have the lead in the Carabao Cup final. 0-1!
  • 44'
    The Magpies get a free-kick in attack. Trippier takes it, ball comes to Barnes after it rebounds off a couple of headers, he hits it but it's deflected off for corner.
  • 43'
    Approaching the half-time whistle and Newcastle continue to look like the better side. Just the goal missing.
  • 41'
    Penalty scare for Newcastle as Trippier catches the ball with his hand! VAR does not call for a review as the full-back's arms were "out of balance", says Stuart Atwell.
  • 39'
    Tonali and Konate come together with their heads. A moment of pause for them to get treated, but they seem okay to continue.
  • 39'
    Kieran Trippier is seen rubbing the back of his leg. Maybe a hamstring problem for the Englishman?
  • 38'
    Diaz and Guimaraes tussle and referee awards the free-kick to Newcastle.
  • 36'
    Trippier whips in the corner as Burn rises to direct it towards goal, but it is a straight save for Kelleher in the end.
  • 35'
    The cross from Barnes is headed into Robertson's back by Isak, the ball bounces back to Trippier, who fires it, but it's off after another deflection from the Scottish full-back. Another corner for the Magpies.
  • 33'
    Diaz and Trippier clash against, with the referee sparing the Englishman with a warning.

    Tonali earns Newcastle a corner as Konate is the last man to touch.
  • 30'

  • 29'
    The set-piece is dealt with by Schar, who puts the ball behind for a corner.
  • 28'
    Luis Diaz earns a free-kick in attack for the Reds. They could work something out for this one.
  • 25'
    Another corner for Howe's side. Barnes is squeezed into a tight space from the cross, allowing Kelleher to wrap up the ball.
  • 24'
    Tonali fires from range and it is not far off! The chance started with Barnes and Isak, with the former's ball for the latter going a little too deep, forcing him to hold the ball and roll it back for the Italian midfielder, who could not find the target.
  • 21'
    The chance is wasted as Newcastle go short and Isak, caught off-guard by it, is forced into a foul on Jota. The Portuguese earnsa free-kick deep in defence.
  • 21'
    Second corner for Newcastle as Guimaraes' cross is deflected behind by Van Dijk. Watch out for the big guns in the middle
  • 20'
    Szobo looks to feed Diaz in front of goal but Burn gets onto the ball before the Brazilian.
  • 19'
    Liverpool yet to produce something in this opening at Wembley.
  • 17'

  • 13'
    Guimaraes almost picked out Barnes with a fashionable ball cutting through the middle, but Van Dijk just caught it before it could reach the forward.
  • 11'
    Mac Allister was down momentarily after receiving an (involuntary?) elbow from Burn on his face. The Argentine is good to continue and the game is resumed.
  • 10'

    Another foul, this time from Isak, who brings down a Liverpool man in the middle of the park.
  • 7'
    Robertson collides with Tripper and gets a foul awarded by the official.
  • 6'
    That was a good scheme from the Magpies. The set-piece was taken short as Barnes got a quick one-two with Tonali to then set up the cross. Van Dijk gets to it before anyone else and puts the ball behind for a corner.
  • 5'
    Mac Allister gives away a set-piece in attack for his foul on Livramento.

    Newcastle's starting XI (4-3-3): Pope (GK); Trippier, Schar, Burn, Livramento; Guimaraes, Tonali, Joelinton; Murphy, Isak, Barnes.
  • PRVW
    And now for the Magpies...
  • PRVW

  • PRVW
    Liverpool's starting XI (4-3-3): Kelleher (GK); Quansah, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai; Salah, Jota, Diaz.
  • PRVW
    Confirmed lineups are out!! Let's see what Liverpool are saying...
  • PRVW
    Newcastle's possible starting XI (4-3-3): Pope (GK); Trippier, Schar, Burn, Livramento; Guimaraes, Tonali, Joelinton; Murphy, Isak, Barnes.
  • PRVW
    Liverpool's possible starting XI (4-2-3-1): Alisson (GK); Quansah, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo; Diaz.
  • PRVW
    With that all settled, let's have a look at the possible lineups!
  • PRVW
    Elsewhere in the squad, Lewis Hall is missing for the remainder of the campaign and will be replaced by one of Tino Livramento or Kieran Trippier, while Jamaal Lascelles and Sven Botman are absent in the heart of defence.
  • PRVW
    As for the Magpies, four key players will be out for the trip to the English capital, with Anthony Gordon the most devastating absentee. The winger is unavailable through suspension after being shown a red card in the FA Cup fifth round defeat to Brighton.
  • PRVW
    Jarell Quansah, Wataru Endo and even Curtis Jones will be considered for the role against Newcastle - Slot suggesting the latter can operate there during his pre-match press conference - while there's also the possibility that Kostas Tsimikas or Andy Robertson fill the void. There's also likely to be a recall for Cody Gakpo after he came off the bench against PSG midweek.
  • PRVW
    Tyler Morton, currently sidelined with a shoulder injury, is Liverpool's only other guaranteed absentee. Ibrahima Konate is also a doubt after sustaining a knock against PSG but is expected to feature after Slot played down the season for his substitution to "tiredness".
  • PRVW
    Trent Alexander-Arnold will be a significant absentee for the Reds after he sustained an ankle injury in Tuesday's defeat to Paris Saint-Germain. Slot has confirmed that he's unavailable for the final and with Conor Bradley and Joe Gomez also sidelined, Liverpool have a dilemma at right-back.
  • PRVW
    Here's how the situation in terms of team news and inuries is looking...
  • PRVW
    With the weight of history against them, Howe has urged his players to embrace the chance to become Newcastle legends by ending their trophy drought. "We want to break that wait for a trophy. It's not a negative, he said. "We're trying to look at it the other way round, it's the chance to make history and be remembered positively."
  • PRVW
    The Magpies' last significant domestic prize was the 1955 FA Cup and they have lost a combined five finals in that competition and the Carabao Cup since then. They have never won the Carabao Cup, most recently losing the 2023 final against Manchester United.
  • PRVW
    Newcastle have been transformed from relegation candidates to contenders for silverware, with a Champions League appearance in 2023-24 underlining their revival. However, Newcastle are still waiting to win their first major trophy since the 1969 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup - the predecessor to the Europa League.
  • PRVW
    Aside from a brief period when Kevin Keegan's team challenged for the title in the 1990s, Newcastle have endured decades of underachievement and self-inflicted wounds that rendered them a laughing stock for long periods. All that changed in 2021 when a Saudi-backed consortium completed a takeover from unpopular owner Mike Ashley and quickly made the decision to hire Eddie Howe as their manager.
  • PRVW
    Liverpool head coach Slot, who will be making his first ever visit to Wembley, hopes the Reds can recover quickly from having their treble bid shattered by Paris Saint-Germain. "It's a great occasion to be in and especially after losing against Paris Saint-Germain. It's maybe the perfect game," he said.
  • PRVW
    It was a rare blow in what has been a successful first season in charge for Slot, who arrived from Feyenoord to succeed Jurgen Klopp last year. Sitting 15 points clear at the top of the Premier League, the Reds are within touching distance of a record-equalling 20th English title and their first since 2020.
  • PRVW
    In the first final of the English domestic season, runaway Premier League leaders Liverpool head to Wembley aiming to erase the bitter taste of their Champions League exit against PSG on Tuesday. The Reds were beaten 4-1 on penalties by PSG in the last 16 second leg at Anfield.
