Former Premier League stars turned pundits, Gary Neville and Roy Keane, have predicted the score of the Carabao Cup final between Liverpool and Newcastle.
Liverpool and Newcastle United will clash for the domestic title at Wembley Stadium on Sunday.
Liverpool will go into the game heartbroken from their Champions League defeat to Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday night.
The defeat to the French Ligue 1 side saw them eliminated from the competition on penalties (4-1) after a 1-1 aggregate score.
For Newcastle United, they have blown hot and cold in recent games, with their latest result being a 1-0 win over West Ham United in their last league outing on Monday.
Speaking on the Stick to Football podcast alongside Arsenal legend Ian Wright, the two Manchester United stars, Neville and Keane, shared their predictions.
They both predicted a win for Liverpool.
Neville said, “Here we go – I think Liverpool will win 2-1 or 2-0… 2-0 Liverpool.”
When Wright asked if he didn’t envisage Alexander Isak scoring at Wembley, the former defender replied:
“Do you know something? Newcastle never play well at Wembley.”
Keane also predicted a defeat for Newcastle, saying:
“3-1, yeah” – seemingly in favor of Liverpool.
With the predictions from the two legends, it would be the Reds’ first silverware under new manager Arne Slot.
