Newcastle are bidding to win their first major domestic trophy since 1955, when they beat Manchester City 3-1 in the FA Cup showpiece match

Liverpool do not have a recognised right-back for the Wembley final because Conor Bradley and Joe Gomez are still recovering from injuries so Jarell Quansah is likely to fill in. Newcastle have Anthony Gordon suspended while Lewis Hall and Sven Botman remain out injured. Both managers must decide which goalkeeper to put in.

Liverpool is the most successful team in the tournament, having won the title 10 times, including the last edition when it beat Chelsea 0-1 under former manager Jurgen Klopp.
