Liverpool and Newcastle will compete in the 2025 Carabao Cup final this Sunday at Wembley.

The two clubs are having great seasons as they look on course to achieve their Premier League objectives and adding a Carabao Cup to their campaign would be a welcome bonus.

For Newcastle, this Sunday’s cup final will mean a lot more as the Tyneside club have not tasted success since winning the FA Cup against Man City back in 1955.

Newcastle enter the Carabao Cup final on Sunday off the back of a 1-0 win over West Ham this week and will have been boosted after watching Liverpool’s defeat to PSG after being dragged all the way to a penalty shootout.

Despite this, Neville has picked Liverpool to beat Newcastle 2-0 on Sunday, stating the Magpies’ history at Wembley as the main reason.

“Newcastle never play well at Wembley,” Neville stated on the latest episode of Stick To Football.

“You watch Newcastle at Wembley and see all them fans that travel like six, seven hours and you are like ‘go on, give them something, go on and surprise them.’

“In 1998 they didn’t turn up and in 99 they didn’t turn up.

It is the pressure and weight of being there.”

Howe will be looking to change this at the weekend as Newcastle’s history in cup finals should give Liverpool fans a boost ahead of the Wembley showpiece.

Newcastle’s last trophy came in 1955 but the Tyneside club have competed in many finals since that day with the latest being in 2023 where they lost to Man United 2-0 in the EFL Cup finale at Wembley.

That was only the second time they have been to the final of the League Cup with their other defeat coming at the hands of Man City in 1976.

When it comes to the FA Cup, Liverpool were the victors in the 1974 edition of the competition over the Tyneside outfit, while Newcastle would fall short again in 1998 and 1999 against Arsenal and Man United.
