Roy Keane and Gary Neville are in agreement over Liverpool in Sunday's Carabao Cup final against Newcastle United

Roy Keane and Gary Neville have agreed in their prediction for Liverpool's Carabao Cup final against Newcastle United on Sunday (4:30pm kick-off). Despite crashing out of the Champions League on Tuesday night, Arne Slot's side are on course to achieve a domestic double.

The Reds are 15 points clear at the top of the Premier League table and are well on course to win a record-equalling 20th English top-flight crown.

But Slot's men will first focus on Sunday's clash against the Magpies at Wembley Stadium. The Reds are looking to retain the League Cup trophy they won last season as they face a club who have not won a major domestic trophy since 1955.

And former Manchester United stars Keane and Neville are in agreement that the Reds will triumph against Eddie Howe's team this weekend.

"Here we go — I think Liverpool will win 2-1 or 2-0… 2-0 Liverpool," Neville said on the Stick To Football podcast. Ian Wright replied: "You’re not giving Alexander Isak a goal?"

"Do you know you know something? Newcastle never play well at Wembley," Neville insisted. "When you watch Newcastle at Wembley, you see all them fans that have travelled like six, seven hours, you think go on and give them something, surprise them."

And Roy Keane added: "3-1, yeah." He also felt that it would be in favour of Liverpool, who was knocked out of the Champions League by Paris Saint Germain on Tuesday.

Earlier in the show, Neville said: "I can't see Mo Salah and Virgil van Dijk not being winners on Sunday. You know when you look at two players and you just think, who's going to take that off them?"
