Magpies to end silverware wait

Last winning a major piece of domestic silverware in 1955, Sunday could be the day the wait ends for Newcastle fans, who could be set to see their side lift a trophy.

The Magpies will go into this game better rested than their opponents on the back of their 1-0 win at the London Stadium on Monday against West Ham.

Liverpool suffered penalty-shootout heartbreak at home to Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday night.

Putting so much effort into that game against PSG at Anfield and seeing their dream of a seventh European title ended at least for this year, it will be a big ask for manager Arne Slot to get a strong performance out of his side on Sunday.

Newcastle can take advantage and boss Eddie Howe, who has been a revelation since taking the job at St James’ Park in 2021, can put his name in Magpies history by guiding his side to elusive silverware this weekend.

Goals at a premium at Wembley

Carabao Cup finals don’t tend to be littered with goals, even when two attacking teams like Liverpool and Newcastle go head-to-head.

Going with under 2.5 total goals would have landed in five of the last six finals in this competition, while the last meeting between Liverpool and Newcastle also saw less than three goals scored.

In what will be a tense occasion for both sets of teams on Sunday, going with under 2.5 total goals offers value here.

Pope set for busy shift

While Newcastle are being tipped for the win on Sunday, Liverpool will make the Magpies work for that rare piece of silverware.

When it comes to shots on target, with 55 efforts on goal, Mohamed Salah is ranked second in the Premier League this season, with only Manchester City’s Erling Haaland (57) having more in the English top flight.

At Liverpool, only Salah and Luis Diaz have had more shots on target than the Reds’ Hungarian star Dominik Szoboszlai, who has mustered 18 efforts on goal in the Premier League.

Alexis Mac Allister has averaged 1.7 shots on target per game in the Carabao Cup this season and the Argentine, along with Salah and Szoboszlai, are all worth backing to test Newcastle goalkeeper Nick Pope on Sunday.
