The 2022/23 season marked the beginning of the Erik ten Hag era at Manchester United. United ended a six-year wait for trophy success by winning the Carabao Cup after beating Newcastle in the final at Wembley.

Newcastle are on a run of 17 victories, 15 in normal time and two via shootout, with 32 goals scored and only nine conceded

In the last 16 League Cup rounds in which Liverpool have featured, they have faced Premier League opposition 13 times. Despite this, the Reds have reached the final in three of the last four years, winning the competition on two of those occasions.

Losing that initial meeting in 1976 as the north east outfit finished up as runners-up in the final to Manchester City, we have since faced them and beaten them twice in the competition, first in the third round of 2008/09 and then in the fifth round of 2014/15.
