Liverpool vs Newcastle LIVE: Carabao Cup final team news and line-ups

Trent Alexander-Arnold has been ruled out of the Carabao Cup final and faces an extended spell on the sidelines after suffering an ankle injury in the defeat to PSG. With Joe Gomez and Conor Bradley also unavailable, Alexander-Arnold is likely to be replaced by Jarell Quansah at right back.

Ibrahima Konate limped off against PSG but is expected to be fine. Cody Gakpo returned off the bench against PSG and is back in contention. After starting in the semi-final win over Tottenham, Alisson is expected to play ahead of back-up Caoimhin Kelleher, who has started Liverpool’s last two Carabao Cup triumphs.

Liverpool will face Newcastle at 4:30pm on Sunday 16 March at Wembley Stadium.

The Carabao Cup final will be shown live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Football.

Liverpool, though, will start as favourites to lift the first silverware of the season as the runaway Premier League leaders look to win their first trophy under Arne Slot. Liverpool are also defending champions having beaten Chelsea last season to win the League Cup for a record-extending 10th time.

We’ll bring you all the build-up between now and kick-off at 4:30pm.
