Liverpool booked their way to Wembley and a League Cup final against Newcastle United after defeating a lethargic Tottenham Hotspur 4-0 at Anfield on Thursday, and 4-1 on aggregate.

Newcastle have the opportunity to end an extended domestic trophy drought that stretches all the way back to 1955, when they won the FA Cup. They have never won the League Cup but have reached the final twice before, losing to City in 1976 and to Manchester United in 2023.

Liverpool secured their place in the Carabao Cup final with a commanding 4-0 victory over Tottenham at Anfield, overturning a first-leg deficit to win 4-1 on aggregate. Goals from Cody Gakpo, Mohamed Salah,
