We all saw how much winning the Carabao Cup meant to Newcastle fans – BBC Sport pundit looks ahead

BBC Sport pundit Chris Sutton has been reflecting on Newcastle United winning the Carabao Cup Final, defeating Liverpool 2-1.

Although that scoreline certainly flattered Arne Slot’s side, who were very lucky to get away with just a one goal losing margin.

Looking back on that 2025 Carabao Cup Final, the BBC Sport man declaring:

“We all saw how much winning the Carabao Cup meant to Newcastle fans after their long wait for a trophy.”

As we all know as Newcastle fans, this ended a 56 year wait for a major trophy, 70 years for major domestic silverware.

That is all in the past though…

However, for other clubs, it has also been a long wait for a trophy, indeed, some have never won a major trophy at all, ever!

That could change though in the next two months and Chris Sutton has been previewing the eight clubs who are still in with a shout of winning the FA Cup.

The BBC Sport pundit stating:

“Liverpool and Arsenal are out, and City are clearly not the force they were, so this feels like a big chance for the other teams left in it to get some glory – I just hope they try to take it.”

These are Chris Sutton’s FA Cup quarter-final predictions this weekend:

Saturday 29 March

(12.15pm) Fulham 2 Crystal Palace 1

(5.15pm) Brighton 2 Forest 0

Sunday 30 March

(1.30pm) Preston 0 Villa 2

(4.30pm) Bournemouth 2 Man City 3 (AET)

Here are the eight remaining FA Cup clubs and when they last won a major trophy:

Fulham – Never won a major trophy

Palace – Never won a major trophy

Brighton – Never won a major trophy

Forest – Won the League Cup in 1990

Preston – Won the FA Cup in 1938
