Hello and welcome to the ECHO's live coverage of the Carabao Cup final between Liverpool and Newcastle United at Wembley.

The runaway Premier League leaders saw their Champions League hopes come crashing down against Paris Saint-Germain at Anfield on Tuesday as the French side prevailed in a penalty shoot-out.

For Liverpool head coach Arne Slot, a trip to the capital could be the perfect way to lift his players.



The Dutchman has the chance to earn a memorable double in his first season in charge, too, with the league title as good as secured for the Reds.

The Carabao Cup is not a piece of silverware to be sniffed at, though.

Last season Jurgen Klopp had one of his most memorable days as Liverpool manager when his injury-ravaged team overcame Chelsea after extra-time.

Newcastle will certainly be desperate to win it.

The Magpies lost at this stage two years ago against Manchester United and will have another chance to end a domestic trophy drought that goes back to 1955.

Trent Alexander-Arnold will not feature for the Reds due to injury while the Magpies will be without first-team regulars in Sven Botman, Lewis Hall and the suspended Anthony Gordon.

The Carabao Cup is scheduled to start at 4.30pm (GMT) with team news coming at 3.30pm.
