Pundits Roy Keane and Gary Neville have both agreed that Newcastle United will lose Sunday’s Carabao Cup final against Liverpool.
The Magpies are chasing their first major domestic trophy since 1955. To end the club’s 70-year drought, Eddie Howe‘s side will need to overcome a Liverpool team who sit 15 points clear at the top of the Premier League table.
The Merseysiders have lost just three domestic fixtures all season, with Nottingham Forest, Tottenham Hotspur and Plymouth Argyle being the only teams to beat Arne Slot’s dominant side. However, Newcastle will have some hope after watching Liverpool toil against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Tuesday night before losing on penalties.
Nevertheless, legendary former Manchester United stars Keane and Neville can only see one outcome at Wembley Stadium on Sunday. Both pundits have backed the Reds to win this weekend.
“Here we go — I think Liverpool will win 2-1 or 2-0… 2-0 Liverpool,” Neville said on the Stick To Football podcast. Ian Wright replied: “You’re not giving Alexander Isak a goal?”
“Do you know you know something? Newcastle never play well at Wembley,” Neville insisted. “When you watch Newcastle at Wembley, you see all them fans that have travelled like six, seven hours, you think go on and give them something, surprise them.”
And Keane added: “3-1, yeah.” He also felt that it would be in favour of Liverpool, who were knocked out of the Champions League by Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday.
Earlier in the show, Neville said: “I can’t see Mo Salah and Virgil van Dijk not being winners on Sunday. You know when you look at two players and you just think, who’s going to take that off them?”
