- Newcastle's center of the Newcastle field can make a difference against Liverpool on Sunday
- Eddie Howe will wait for Joelinton and Bruno Guimaraes to take to the glory
- Listen now: Everything is starting! Why the final of the League Cup is Newcastle to lose
The 1974 FA Cup final between Liverpool and Newcastle is the reason I got into football. It was the first final I saw and captivated the emotion of both fans.
Since that day, these two great clubs have been on different trips. Liverpool has been loaded with trophies, Newcastle is not so much. Change that in Newcastle and Chief Eddie Howe will be a legend of the club.
It depends on their contact monsters Bruno Guimaraes, Sandro Tonali and Joelinton winning the fight in the midfield against Liverpool. Newcastle has to find a way to stop the red air game.
Howe will want to turn it into a battle. Guimaraes has won the greatest amount of faults in the league and he and Joelinton are in the top 10 to give them away. They are drawing contact teachers.
However, Liverpool has the best center of the field this season. Ryan Gravenberch, who feels deep, is the most improved player under Arne Slot, Dominik Szoboszlai is a non -stop action and Alexis Mac Allister is a World Cup winner who also likes to put his foot often gives faults.
When the sides faced last month, Howe was without Joelinton and Alexander Isak for an injury, so he changed his usual 4-3-3 system to match Liverpool configuration when Anthony Gordon played in the middle often pushed along the striker Callum Wilson. It did not work. Liverpool had 12 shots at the three of Newcastle, while Howe's team did not meet only one in the target. With Isak and Joelinton in shape, Howe will return to his family system.
The duo of the Center of the Bruno Guimaraes and Joelinton field will make a difference against Liverpool
On Sunday, Newcastle will aim to win its first trophy from the FA Cup in 1955, 70 years ago
Sunday's EFL Cup final is also the only competition of the remaining Cup in Liverpool, after Paris-Saint Germain did not eliminate them from the Champions League in the middle of the week
The absence of suspended Gordon is a great loss. His great boots will be to fill Harvey Barnes, who seemed promising in the victory over West Ham if a little rusty. Howe could even play Joe Willock on the left. It was excellent in the semifinal against Arsenal, instead of the suspended Guimaraes, and bombarded Gordon and Jacob Murphy while attacking as a fugitive train.
I hope that Liverpool will be the boss's possession, so Howe will want as possible to hit them in the counterattack and in Isak, he has the most in the form of the league.
Isak is probably the only central striker in the country who can run in the pairing of the central elite elite of Liverpool by Virgin Van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate.
But if Howe's midfielders can win the ball and feed Isak, could carve their name in Newcastle folklore.
