Liverpool vs Newcastle in Carabao Cup: Arne Slot’s headaches

Liverpool and Newcastle will define the first English football champion in 2025 in Wembley when they face the Grand Final of CUP, commitment that will feature the exclusive Disney+ transmission (only for South America).

AfterThe strong impact which implied the UEFA Champions League elimination At home and by penalties against PSG, Liverpool will have an unbeatable opportunity to recover.

Arne Slot’s team passed page and, with a premier that looks practically in his pocket, now He focuses on trying to seal his first trophy of the season before going for double.

Without Alexander-Arnold or Bradley, quansah to the rescue?

While in the papers Reds have a wide superiority from the hierarchy And today, the truth is that Slot has some headaches when raising your initial formation for the final.

In the previous one, the good thing for Liverpool is that URACAS will not have available to one of his best playerssince Anthony Gordon is still complying 3 suspension dates after the direct red he received against Brighton.

This already solves one of Liverpool’s great problems in the hours that precedes the final: Trent Alexander-Arnold injury.

The English side could not finish the game against PSG by A blow to your anklewhich seemed fold strongly When he tried to remove a ball on the line.

Arne Slot said that His presence on Sunday is complex And everything indicates that Only a miracle could place ’66’ inside the playing field against Newcastle.

Without one of his cracks, slot Nor has its natural replacement: Conor Bradley, the youth that broke up last season with Klopp, is also among cotton and will not be of the game.

With this panorama, Slot would be inclined to a third and inadequate optiongiven that You will have to place Jarell Quansahcentral by nature, to occupy this hole.

The young man was the one who took the place of Alexander-Arnold against PSG and did not do it badly: he covered his sector solid and almost scores the heroic goal of the classificationbut his header gave in the post.

After this good income, The logical thing will be that the Dutch coach is decided by him for this endwith the positive plus for the reds that Quanseah should not suffer the vertigo proposed by Gordon with its speed.

The strikers, with a fallen layer: What will Arne Slot do?

The duel against PSG left in sight The great influence that Mohamed Salah has at the time of conversion of the goals.

Without the Egyptian in a good afternoon/night, the Reds could not score and the level of almost all the attackers do not finish convincing.

Diogo Jota is not 100% From the physical and demonstrates it within the field of play, Darwin Núñez seems to have his feet more out than inside Anfield (even more after the prison failed in the week) and Cody Gakpo is just returning from the injury that away several games.

Lucho Díaz is the only one who seems to be suitable from the physical and mentalalthough to the guajiro They blame the lack of goal In the final meters.

With Salah that will surely be the holder for the decisive duel, the doubt will be who will be the ‘9’ and the extreme left, with a latent possibility after what was seen before the French: that Gakpo appears on the left and Díaz is the ‘false 9’something that Slot has done during the season.

How would Liverpool form to face Newcastle in the Carabao Cup final

With these questions raised, Slot could align as follows.

Alisson; Jarell Quansah, Ibrahima Konaté, Virgil van Dijk; Andy Robertson; Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister; Mohamed Salah, Domink Szoboszlai, Cody Gakpo; Luis Díaz.
