MC Tazo has made tunes about Newcastle United before and once again he is teaming up with BBC Radio Newcastle to "boost happiness", while conceding the style is "not for everyone". As for meeting Liverpool at Wembley, MC Tazo is confident although he thinks penalties may be needed.

The latest news from Newcastle United as the Magpies prepare for Sunday’s Carabao Cup Final against Liverpool.

The Carabao Cup holds particular significance for Liverpool. It was the final trophy of the Jurgen Klopp era, claimed last season in a dramatic extra-time triumph over Chelsea, despite a depleted squad. The Merseyside club extended their record to ten titles that night; now, under new leadership, they aim for an eleventh.

The Magpies' last domestic trophy was the FA Cup in 1955, while the club's last major silverware came in the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup in 1969, a competition that then had the guise of the Uefa Cup and is now the Europa League.

Liverpool have been dealt some defensive concerns ahead of Sunday’s Carabao Cup final. Both Liverpool and Newcastle head to Wembley on Sunday with the Carabao Cup trophy on the line, as Arne Slot looks to lift his first trophy in charge of the Reds.

Arne Slot has revealed Ibrahima Konate should be fit for the Carabao Cup final despite his Liverpool injury scare last night - was not as confident on Trent Alexander-Arnold’s fitness.
