Liverpool secured their spot in the Carabao Cup final with a convincing 4-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield, setting up a final showdown against Newcastle United. The rescheduling of Premier League fixtures due to the final has also been announced.
Liverpool secured their place in the Carabao Cup final with a commanding 4-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield. Cody Gakpo, Mohamed Salah, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Virgil van Dijk all found the net, turning around a 1-0 deficit from the first leg and ensuring a 4-1 aggregate win. This victory sets up a final clash with Newcastle United on Sunday, March 16.
Newcastle themselves earned their spot at Wembley with a remarkable 4-0 aggregate victory over Liverpool's Premier League rivals, Arsenal. The Magpies' Premier League match against Crystal Palace on Saturday, March 15 (3pm kick-off) and Liverpool's trip to Aston Villa on the same day (12.30pm kick-off) will need to be rescheduled to accommodate the final. The rearranged Aston Villa fixture will take place on Wednesday, February 19 (7.30pm kick-off). This midweek clash also allows both clubs to recover after their respective Champions League round of 16 qualification. Liverpool finished top of the group stage, while Aston Villa secured eighth place. This new scheduling means Liverpool will face a demanding schedule, with no midweek rest before their crucial Premier League match against defending champions Manchester City on Sunday, February 23 (4.30pm kick-off). However, City will also be facing a demanding fixture as they travel to Real Madrid for the second leg of their Champions League knockout phase play-off on the same night (February 19). The first leg takes place at the Etihad on Tuesday, February 11.
