The first domestic trophy of the season in English soccer will be lifted by one of Liverpool or Newcastle United.

Newcastle have the opportunity to end an extended domestic trophy drought that stretches all the way back to 1955, when they won the FA Cup. They have never won the League Cup but have reached the final twice before, losing to City in 1976 and to Manchester United in 2023.

Liverpool produced a dominant display at Anfield to secure their place in the Carabao Cup final with an emphatic victory over Tottenham. Trailing 1-0 from the first leg, the Reds delivered a commanding performance to overturn the deficit and book a showdown with Newcastle at Wembley on March 16.
