The first major trophy of the English season will be decided in Wembley on Sunday while Liverpool will face Newcastle United in the final of the EFL Cup.

Their last major trophy of all kinds was the cup of the Integvities fairs, the precursor of the UEFA / Europa League Cup, which Newcastle won in 1969.
