Liverpool Football Club will be aiming for its first trophy under Arne Slot when they face Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup final this weekend.
On the other hand, Newcastle have a chance to end a 56-year wait for a major trophy and a 70-year wait for a domestic title.
It will be fascinating to see how the Reds react to their first real setback having been knocked out of the Champions League by PSG on Tuesday night in a penalty shootout.
The Kops who are the most successful side in the competition are also the defending champions having beaten Chelsea 1-0 in extra time last season thanks to Virgil van Dijk’s header.

“Winning last year’s final against Chelsea,” Senkatuka said when asked about his favourite Carabao Cup moment. “Van Dijk’s header last year to win the cup… Goosebumps!” he added.
