Carabao Cup final: Essential statistics to consider before Liverpool faces Newcastle United

Newcastle will be without four players in their match against Liverpool for the Carabao Cup final.

Arne Slot is set to pursue his first trophy with Liverpool as they take on Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup final this Sunday at Wembley.

Following a disappointing Champions League campaign, this match presents a timely opportunity for Liverpool to secure another trophy.

Jurgen Klopp’s team triumphed in this competition last season by defeating Chelsea. Newcastle, on the other hand, is eager to end a 69-year drought for a major trophy.

As the match approaches, Slot has confirmed that Trent Alexander-Arnold will be sidelined due to an injury sustained against Paris Saint-Germain.

While Slot has his preferred choices for the lineup, he faces a couple of crucial decisions.

Projected Liverpool starting lineup against Newcastle United

Alisson remains Liverpool’s primary goalkeeper, but Slot has opted for Caoimhin Kelleher in cup matches. It would not be surprising to see the Irishman start, given his consistent performance in goal.

However, if the 26-year-old goalkeeper does not play, it could signal the end of his tenure at Anfield.

In defense, Jarrel Quansah is set to start in place of Alexander-Arnold. Slot has indicated that Ibrahima Konate is expected to recover from cramp and fatigue, allowing him to keep his position.

In midfield, Curtis Jones has struggled to find his form recently. Alexis MacAllister, Ryan Gravenberch, and Dominik Szoboszlai are likely to maintain their spots in the lineup.

Up front, Diogo Jota has faced challenges, similar to Darwin Nunez, who missed a penalty against PSG. Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah are expected to lead the attack.

Projected Liverpool starting lineup: Kellher, Van Dijk, Konate, Quansah, Robertson, MacAllister, Gravenberch, Szoboszlai, Salah, Jota, Diaz.
