The 2025 Carabao Cup final will award the first domestic trophy of the season in English soccer.
Newcastle United cruised past Arsenal in the semifinals with convincing 2–0 wins in both legs of the tie. Eddie Howe's men return to the final for the second time in three years, but will hope for a better outcome after falling in the 2023 final to Manchester United, who conquered the first of two titles in the Erik ten Hag era. If Newcastle are able to finish off their charge, it'll be their first major trophy win in 70 years, with the 1955 FA Cup still the latest addition to the Magpies trophy cabinet.
The other semifinal saw Liverpool comfortably overcome a 0-1 first leg deficit by destroying Tottenham Hotspur 4-0 in the second leg. The Reds dominated Ange Postecoglou's side at Anfield, with another stellar performance from Mohamed Salah. The defending champions will be back in the final looking for their third League Cup title in four years and the first trophy of the Arne Slot era.

Liverpool should come in as a the favorite given their performances across England and Europe so far this season.
