MANCHESTER United are heavy favourites to defeat Newcastle United in tomorrow’s Carabao League Cup final at London’s Wembley Stadium. But will they?
If there is one thing we can be certain of, it is that both clubs will be desperate to win, with Newcastle perhaps a little more so than the Red Devils.
While there may not be too many among the Toon Army in the stadium tomorrow who will have first-hand recollections of that defeat, they will believe a bit of revenge will not be misplaced. The odds have heavily tilted Man United’s way for showdown for a number of reasons, but none more so than the fact that Newcastle will be without their first-choice goalkeeper, Nick Pope. He is suspended after being sent off against Liverpool last weekend.
Still, with Eddie Howe and a team that is transitioning to become one of England’s best, the underdogs should look at this final as a chance to make a statement. The Paraguayan, whose 10 league goals this season outweigh those in his previous three seasons , should be more than enough to convince Erik ten Hag that he’ll be one to watch rather closely.Newcastle’s main concern appears to be Loris Karius. But despite this and not playing top-level football for some two years, the Magpies’ reserve goalkeeper has been given the public backing of Howe, who called on the German to make a name for himself.
