Having enjoyed an almost perfect start to life as Liverpool boss, Arne Slot will have his first shot at a trophy in the Carabao Cup final.

Currently 23 points ahead of the Magpies in the Premier League table, Slot’s side enter the final as strong favourites – with Danny Murphy tipping Liverpool as winners.

Having comfortably dispatched the Magpies 2-0 in their last meeting, Liverpool will fancy their chances in the final, especially with Newcastle missing Anthony Gordon through suspension.

With this in mind, Guimaraes seems to recognise the challenge at hand, admitting to SkySports that Liverpool are ‘one of the best teams in the world’.

When asked if the cup final has been a distraction to Newcastle in recent weeks, Guimareas replied:

“A little bit to be honest with you.

“We know that we are going to play against one of the best teams in the world nowadays, but I have confidence in ourselves and hopeful we can go to Wembley and get the title.”

The Newcastle midfielder’s verdict on the Reds is particularly interesting when you realise Liverpool have targeted Guimaraes for some time now.
