Manchester United meet Newcastle United at Wembley Stadium this weekend as the Reds aim to win the League Cup for the sixth time in their history.
Only Liverpool (nine) and Manchester City (eight) have lifted the trophy more times, with Jose Mourinho the last United manager to do so during the 2016/17 season. Zlatan Ibrahimovic was the match-winner six years ago, scoring the 87th-minute winner, his second of the match, to seal a 3-2 win over Southampton.
In comparison, Newcastle are yet to win the competition and have only once before reached the final in their history, losing 2-1 to Manchester City. This weekend at Wembley is their first major cup final of any kind since 1999.
