Excitement as Newcastle fans prepare for cup final

Excitement is building on Tyneside and at Wembley as Newcastle United prepare to take on Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final.

More than 32,000 fans have travelled to London, with many taking over Covent Garden on Saturday.

Supporters are hopeful the Magpies will return to St James's Park with their first major trophy since 1969.

In Newcastle, people are already lining up outside fan zones and pubs across the city ahead of 16:30 GMT kick off.

Lifelong supporter Kevin said he had witnessed the Magpies score only one goal in seven visits to Wembley.
