Newcastle United are back at Wembley, determined to end their 70-year wait for a major domestic trophy.
Eddie Howe’s side came close last season but fell short against Manchester United in the final.
Now, they have another chance – this time against a strong Liverpool team.
The Magpies have struggled for consistency in the Premier League, but their cup form has been impressive.
Their semi-final win over Arsenal showed their ability to rise to the occasion.
However, preparing for this final has not been easy.
Injuries and suspensions have forced Howe into some tough decisions.
Anthony Gordon is suspended after his red card against Brighton in the FA Cup.
Lewis Hall is out for the season following ankle surgery, while Sven Botman also requires another knee operation.
These absences have impacted Newcastle’s setup, but Howe still has a solid team ready to compete.
Confirmed Newcastle United XI vs Liverpool
Eddie Howe’s team will be faced with a daunting task of stop Arne Slot’s red hot Reds.
He has chosen the team for the job at hand.
The confirmed lineup for Newcastle United has been released:
The starting XI is: Pope; Trippier, Schar, Burn, Livramento; Tonali, Guimaraes, Barnes; Murphy, Isak, Joelinton.
The game kicks off at 16:30 GMT at Wembley Stadium.
