Liverpool face Newcastle at Wembley in the Carabao Cup Final. We have four selections that are combining to make a bet builder for the final. The selections are Liverpool to lift the trophy, Joelinton to commit 1+ foul and Dominik Szoboszlai and Mohamed Salah to have 1+ shot each at odds of 1.70.
Are Liverpool Clear Favourites?
Liverpool are clear favourites to lift the trophy on Sunday as the bookies have them at 1.33. They’re currently 15 points clear of Arsenal who are in 2nd and 23 points clear of Newcastle who are in 5th. Liverpool will also be desperate for silverware after crashing out of the Champions League on Tuesday night after losing to PSG on penalties. In February, The Reds comfortably beat Newcastle 2-0 who have injuries and suspensions in their squad for Sunday’s final such as Lewis Hall and Anthony Gordon.
Joelinton fouls
Joelinton is a player known for his physicality which often leads to high foul counts. There have only been two games where he hasn’t committed a foul in the Premier League. He has a staggering 51 fouls to his name and nine yellow cards. The Brazilian committed an astounding five fouls against West Ham and somehow didn’t receive a card. In the Carabao Cup this season, he has seven fouls in just five games and currently has an average of two fouls per game across all competitions.
Dangerous Dominik
Szoboszlai has been in fine form recently in the central attacking midfield position and has two goals and one assist in his last three Premier League games. He’s had at least one shot in each of his last 10 games averaging 2.9 per game.
Mohamed Salah
Liverpool’s star man doesn’t need an introduction. Mo Salah has an impressive 27 goals in the Premier League so far. There hasn’t been a game in the premier league where Salah hasn’t had an attempt on goal. He will be eager to forget the team’s disappointment in the Champions League midweek and help his team lift the Carabao Cup trophy on Sunday.
Despite Newcastle being a great side with some top players including Alexander Isak, the missing players from their squad will make this game very difficult. Liverpool should be too much for the Magpies.
Make sure to place our betting tip for this game at a great value of 1.70.
