The 2022-2023 Carabao Cup will be decided with a match between Manchester United and Newcastle. They both had very promising seasons, so this final at Wembley Stadium should be a fun one. Find out what are their lineups for this battle.
It was a fantastic week for Manchester United. They had to close out a hard tie with Barcelona in the UEFA Europa League after a 2-2 draw, but they were able to come through. The Red Devils started 1-0 behind for a Robert Lewandowski goal by a penalty a kick in the first half, although they responded quickly after the break to win 2-1. Eliminating a team like the that could be a huge boost ahead of this challenge.
Newcastle are in front of a great opportunity. They had to wait a lot of time to go back to a decisive game, though they finally did so. The problem for them is that they will be playing with an alternative goalkeeper because starter Nick Pope is suspended for receiving a red card against Liverpool in the EPL.
Manchester United lineup
There were a lot of injuries in Manchester United the last month. Some players are still not available, but Erik ten Hag got a few of them back this week. The return of Antony was crucial vs Barcelona since he scored the winning goal.
Manchester United lineup: David De Gea; Diogo Dalot, Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martínez, Luke Shaw; Casemiro, Fred; Antony, Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford; and Wout Weghorst.
Newcastle lineup
Newcastle will have an obvious absence in their starting team. Pope was sent off in a mistake that ended up being too costly for the near future. The issue for head coach Eddie Howe is that he will have to choose between two goalkeepers that haven’t played much professional football recently. That spot will be occupied by Loris Karius.
Newcastle lineup: Loris Karius; Kieran Trippier, Fabian Schar, Sven Botman, Dan Burn; Sean Longstaff, Bruno Guimaraes, Joelinton; Miguel Almiron, Callum Wilson, Allan Saint-Maximin.
