Newcastle fans travelled en masse to storm the capital ahead of their side's EFL Cup final clash with Liverpool on Sunday.

The match is set to kick off at 16:30 (GMT) at Wembley Stadium, with 32,000 Newcastle fans expected to make the journey south.

The Magpies are hoping to end their 70-year trophy drought against Arne Slot's imperious Reds, who will undoubtedly have had the wind taken out of them after being bounced out of the Champions League by PSG in the midweek.

This is Newcastle's second chance in three years to win the EFL Cup under Eddie Howe, after suffering a 2-0 defeat by Manchester United in 2023's final.
