Alexander the Magpies have great will be a waited far too handful, but long for this my money...finally it isis on Red our trophy!

LES: I'd say, yes, and next to Sir Bobby Robson's - but there's talk about knocking the stadium down, so maybe that will be part of the plans.

JAMIE REDKNAPP and Les Ferdinand both played in the Premier League classic that became known as the Game of the Century.

Liverpool's epic 4-3 victory over Newcastle at Anfield in 1996 still gets replayed regularly on Sky Sports almost 29 years after the event.

Since then, the sides have clashed 56 times, with the Toon winning just eight. And the Magpies haven't beaten the Reds in their past 17 meetings.

Newcastle are chasing their first major domestic trophy since the 1955 FA Cup. Liverpool can boast 14 league titles, eight FA Cups and 10 League Cups since then, even without their legendary European exploits.

Ex-Reds midfielder Redknapp and former Toon striker Ferdinand are on the Sky Sports team today, and give their insights on a huge Wembley clash.

WILL IT BE A BIG SHOCK IF NEWCASTLE WIN THE CARABAO CUP FINAL TODAY?

LES: It's a cup final and on any given day Newcastle are capable of putting in a performance that makes you think, 'Where did that come from?'.

Just look at what they did to Arsenal in the semis.

Liverpool could turn up with a bit of complacency after their recent record against us. But they are set to win the Premier League for a reason - they're the best team in the country - so Newcastle need every single player to put in a 9/10 or 10/10 performance.

JAMIE: Newcastle have been a bit inconsistent, but I was at the second leg of the semi-final against Arsenal and they showed remarkable maturity. After winning 2-0 at the Emirates, I was really impressed with how they managed the tie.

It's a good thing Newcastle were in this final two years ago, when it felt like they were happy just to be there and it all got a bit too much for them.

This time feels different, they won't be happy just to be in a Wembley final - they will want to win.
