Eddie Howe has said Newcastle United have the chance to make history by beating Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday.

A win at Wembley would see end the Tyneside club's wait for a first trophy since winning the European Fairs Cup in 1969.

"That's not easy in this job.

I want the players to look at it that way, to attack the game and give a good representation of ourselves."

The 47-year-old led Newcastle to the 2023 Carabao Cup final in his first full season at the helm.

It was the club's first major final in 24 years and they appeared overawed by the occasion in their timid 2-0 loss to Man United.

"We've become more accustomed to the bigger games.

We've got a lot of experienced players who have played in big games," he added.

The England international scored in both legs of their semfinal against Arsenal, but is suspended for the final after being sent off in their FA Cup clash against Brighton at the start of the month.

"Losing big important players is never easy, but you have to come back stronger in a unified way," Howe said.

"We've tried to double down on our core strengths.
