Manchester United and Newcastle United are both looking to end trophy droughts when they clash in the final of the Carabao Cup at Wembley.
It has been a long six years for Red Devils fans since they last tasted silverware, when they won this competition and the Europa League under Jose Mourinho in 2016/17.
However, that’s nothing compared to the wait Magpies supporters have faced.
Newcastle last lifted a major trophy when they won the FA Cup in 1954/55, and this is their first final since losing the 1998/99 FA Cup decider.
United come into the clash in hot form, with striker Marcus Rashford being in particularly lethal mood recently to help his side climb to third place in the Premier League standings.
Eddie Howe’s side have hit a mini-slump ahead of the final though, drawing with West Ham and Bournemouth before a 2-0 defeat to Liverpool last weekend saw them drop out of the top four.
Kick-off is at 4.30pm GMT.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Carabao Cup football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for any Carabao Cup action, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
