The Carabao Cup third-round draw has set up a massive all-Premier League clash, with Liverpool preparing to host Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield. The draw also revealed several other exciting potential top-flight encounters, as Manchester United face Brighton, while Arsenal travel to Ipswich Town in a highly anticipated and busy week of domestic cup action across England.
Tottenham Hotspur secured a dominant 5-1 victory over Charlton Athletic in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday, bouncing back from their opening Premier League defeat. New signing Savio made an immediate impact, scoring on his debut. Meanwhile, Everton and Newcastle United also navigated their second-round ties successfully to join Roberto De Zerbi's side in the third-round draw.
Newcastle United narrowly avoided a major Carabao Cup upset on Wednesday night as Harvey Barnes emerged from the bench to secure a hard-fought 3-2 victory over Championship side West Bromwich Albion. On an evening that began with the high-profile unveiling of marquee signing Nico Gonzalez, the Magpies were forced to dig deep to ensure their place in the third round.
Chris Wood has welcomed the imminent £50m arrival of Liam Delap from Chelsea, insisting the record signing will bring "healthy competition" to Nottingham Forest. Oliver Glasner's side suffered a second straight home defeat without scoring after falling 2-0 to Leeds United in the Carabao Cup, underlining the urgent need for attacking firepower.
Joe Rodon praised the depth across the Leeds United squad after they eased past Nottingham Forest 2-0 to reach the Carabao Cup third round. Having secured their second win at the City Ground in the space of three days, the Welsh international insisted everyone will have a big role to play as the Whites look to build early-season momentum.
The 2025 Carabao Cup Final between Liverpool and Newcastle United will kick-off at 4:30 pm GMT on Sunday, March 16, at Wembley Stadium.
Liverpool, who claimed a 10th League Cup title last season, will be aiming to go back-to-back in the competition for the first time since they went on a stunning 4-year winning streak between 1981-84. Amazingly, Newcastle haven’t had a trophy triumph for 70 years, since winning the FA Cup in 1955.
Where can I buy tickets for the Carabao Cup Final 2025?
Both of the participating clubs, Liverpool and Newcastle, have started selling seats through their respective official ticket sites. Be aware that capacity is limited, and demand often exceeds available allocation. Each of the two finalists have been allotted a certain number of tickets. Liverpool have received 32,196 tickets and been allocated the east side of the Wembley Stadium. Newcastle have been allocated slightly less tickets, with 31,939 seats available to Magpies’ fans.
You could also obtain a Club Wembley membership, which would also ensure you seats for the FA Cup semi-finals (April 26 & 27) and the Final (May 17) as well. However, this will be more expensive. Depending on the type of membership, the cost could range from £2,640 to £13,002.
