Either Manchester United or Newcastle will bag a first piece of silverware for the season when they lock horns in the EFL Cup final.
Man United are looking to win a sixth League Cup, while Newcastle are on the hunt for their first ever title.
Erik Ten Hag’s men thrashed Nottingham Forest 5-0 on aggregate in the semis while their opponents beat Southampton 3-1 over two legs.
Ten Hag becomes the first Dutch manager to take charge of an EFL Cup final and United fans can dream of that elusive piece of silverware again.
This is Man United’s first domestic cup final appearance since the 2018 FA Cup final, where they lost 1-0 to eventual champions Chelsea.
Newcastle have failed to win their last four Premier League games, suffering a 2-0 loss to Liverpool in their latest outing.
Meanwhile, United are on an impressive nine-game unbeaten run and are coming off a morale-boosting win against Barcelona in the Europa League.
Newcastle’s last four Carabao Cup opponents were Premier League sides and they won against them with a combined score line of 6-1.
They also have the best defensive record in the Premier League this season, letting in just 15 goals in 23 matches.
An eight-game losing streak at Wembley has also befallen the Magpies since their 1955 FA Cup triumph – their most recent domestic cup success.
