The 2023–24 Carabao Cup final between Chelsea and Liverpool will be their second meeting in the previous three years.
That day, the Reds overcame their opponents from London. A match that concluded with a score of 0-0, favouring Jurgen Klopp’s team.
The Blues, who lost the first leg 1-0 at Riverside Stadium, will be hoping for a better outcome after cruising over Middlesbrough 6-2 on aggregate.
They have performed well in the Carabao Cup, defeating teams like Brighton, Blackburn Rovers, and Newcastle United en route to Wembley, despite their dismal performance in the Premier League.
Liverpool has had a fantastic season overall and is having a great League Cup run. The Reds advanced to the final by defeating a formidable Fulham team in the semi-final then defeating West Ham, Bournemouth, Leicester City, and West Ham.
Manchester United and Newcastle played in the 100th anniversary Wembley final last season, with the Red Devils winning 2-0 and taking home the trophy. This time, the trophy will either return to Merseyside in the north or remain in London.
Here’s everything you need to know about the game and all the important information as the excitement and anticipation build for what should be an alluring fixture for the neutral.
When Will The Carabao Cup Final Be Played?
The Carabao Cup final is scheduled for February 25, 2024, and English clubs are vying to win the competition and become the first to win a major domestic trophy this season. The FA has not yet finalised the official kick-off time, although it is anticipated to be approximately 4:30 pm GMT, much like it was last year.
Midway between league seasons, teams have the opportunity to win silverware at the Carabao Cup final, which takes place in February and is typically the first domestic final of the English season.
With eight-time champion Man City already eliminated from the competition after being defeated by Eddie Howe’s Newcastle team in the third round, this year’s campaign offers a wonderful opportunity for a club to use a victory as a launching pad for future success.
The championship game was played in late March or early April for several years. This was prior to the 1999–2000 season, when it was rescheduled to take place in late February or early March.
Carabao Cup Final Venue
The famous Wembley Stadium in London will host the Carabao Cup final in 2024. The home of football, Wembley, is usually the site of the final of each English domestic cup competition, and it’s safe to say that Wembley has a full calendar going until 2024.
With a capacity to accommodate up to 90,000 spectators, the stadium is an ideal venue for major football matches. Since its reopening in 2007, it has established itself as the largest stadium in the nation and the second largest in Europe.
