What the expert says...
Mo Salah is expected to have another massive game for the Reds
Liverpool's Mo Salah will be hoping to continue his great form this season with a big performance in the EFL Cup Final after struggling against PSG in the midweek game.
Salah was frustrated with his performance on Tuesday evening after failing to score during the game but he tucked away his penalty in the shootout in fine fashion.
The Egyptian was seen in tears after Liverpool were knocked out with his contract still not renewed with the Reds and his hopes of the Ballon d'Or diminishing.
| 2025 EFL Cup Final - First Goalscorer | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Mo Salah | 4/1 | 20.0% |
| Darwin Nunez | 5/1 | 16.7% |
| Luis Diaz | 6/1 | 14.3% |
| Alexander Isak | 7/1 | 12.5% |
| Jacob Murphy | 14/1 | 6.7% |
Eddie Howe looking to win Newcastle their first domestic trophy since 1955
Newcastle United are heading to Wembley looking to make history for their club with 70 years passing since their last major domestic cup win.
The Toon last won a major domestic trophy back in 1955 when they beat Manchester City 3-1 in the FA Cup Final but won the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup in 1969.
Eddie Howe knows he can become a legend in Newcastle by winning the cup on Sunday and he will be confident heading into the game after Liverpool played 120 minutes against PSG on Tuesday night.
