Liverpool are unbeaten in their last seven games at Wembley in all competitions since a 4-1 loss to Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League back in October 2017.
Of the Reds' 10 League Cup final victories, only two have come inside 90 minutes (Bolton Wanderers in 1995 and Manchester United in 2003).
Liverpool are the first side to reach the final in consecutive seasons under a different boss since Spurs in 2008 and 2009.
Arne Slot can become the first Reds boss since Joe Fagan in 1984 to win the League Cup in his first season in charge.
This will be Slot's fourth final in charge of a team, with all three previous games ending 1-0 when he was in the dugout for Feyenoord.
Since making his Carabao Cup debut in September 2023, Cody Gakpo has scored nine goals in 11 appearances in the competition (five more than any other player). His five goals in 2024-25 are the most by a Reds player in a single League Cup campaign since Robbie Fowler netted six in 2000-01.
Mohamed Salah has been directly involved in 18 goals in 16 appearances against Newcastle for Liverpool in all competitions (10 goals, eight assists). Only against Manchester United (22) and Manchester City (21) has he been involved in more.
Eleven of the Reds' last 15 goals versus Newcastle have been either scored (four) or assisted (seven) by Salah.
