The 2023-2024 Carabao Cup final between Newcastle United and Liverpool is set to take place on February 25, 2024, at Wembley Stadium. This will be an exciting encounter, as both teams have had strong performances in the tournament leading up to this point.
The match will be officiated by referee John Brooks. The EFL has confirmed that VAR will be used during the final, with Stuart Attwell and Sian Massey-Ellis overseeing VAR operations at Stockley Park.
This final holds special significance for Newcastle United, as they aim to secure their first major trophy since 1955.
Liverpool will miss several key players for the 2025 Carabao Cup final against Newcastle due to injuries:
1. Trent Alexander-Arnold – He is sidelined with an ankle injury sustained during a Champions League match. His absence will be a significant blow to Liverpool’s right-back position.
2. Conor Bradley – The young full-back is also out due to injury.
3. Joe Gomez – He is unavailable because of an injury.
4. Luis Díaz – The winger is still recovering from a long-term knee injury, which keeps him out of the final.
5. Ibrahima Konaté – While Konaté is recovering from a knock, he is expected to be fit and available for selection in the final.
