The first title for the 2022/23 season in England will be handed out at Wembley Stadium tonight (Sunday), when Manchester United meet Newcastle in the League Cup final.
For the Red Devils it's a chance to break a five-and-a-half-year title drought since winning the Community Shield in 2017, while the Magpies haven't lifted a trophy since 1969 at Intercity, the precursor to the UEFA Cup. United's players arrive in high spirits after knocking Barcelona out of the
league the European with a 1:2 victory at Old Trafford and 3:4 in the summary of the two meetings. Erik ten Haag's team is benefiting from the excellent fitness of Marcus Rashford, who was in doubt for the match but started in the 11, alongside Antony who returned to the lineup and Wout and Horst who was placed on the wing. Anthony The injured Martial was absent again and Jadon Sancho went to the bench.
Newcastle is having an excellent season and has climbed to the top of the Premier League, although out of the last 12 points that were in the pot, they have only gained three and have not yet won in the month of February under any circumstances.
The third goalkeeper Loris Karius was placed between the posts and this will be his first game for an English team since that Champions League final in 2018, due to the exclusion of Nick Pope and the fact that Martin Dubrebka played this season for United in the League Cup and is not allowed to take part in the meeting.
The Magpies have lost all eight of their last eight games at Wembley, and have not won at the National Stadium since the 1955 Cup Final.
