• Stats of the final

Sunday's final sees the 188th match between the two clubs, and the third in the League Cup, where previously it’s one win each.

A win would be United's 50th in competitive matches against Liverpool.

The Magpies are the only unbeaten team in the Carabao Cup this season, with Liverpool losing their Semi-Final First Leg to Spurs.

Newcastle travel to London with a 100% win record in 2025 having won at Tottenham, Arsenal and West Ham this year.

Newcastle have reached two finals, in 1976, losing to Manchester City and in 2023 to Manchester United. By contrast Liverpool have won the Cup on ten occasions, 1978, 1982, 1983, 1984 1995, 2001, 2003 2012, 2022 and 2024 and been runners-ups on four occasions, 1988, 1987, 2005 and 2016.
