The EFL Cup final is officially defined, Newcastle United and Liverpool take place for the first trophy of the season at the Wembley stadium in London on March 16.
The two unbalanced victories recorded on aggregate this week, with Newcastle Beating Arsenal 4-0 and Liverpool reversing a deficit of 1-0 against Tottenham Hotspur with a score of 4-1 by the final whistle on Thursday. Although there have not been a ton of similarities between the two links in the semi -finals, there is one thing that the finalists share – the Magpies and the Reds resemble well -oiled machines, to the masters of their styles tactics and seem intended to give themselves a very fight for a place on the podium next month.
Their attacker stars also stood out this week, with the start of the Ballon d’Or Mohamed, Mohamed Salah, won his 26th goal of the season in the 4-0 victory in Liverpool on Thursday. If a goalscorer really stole the series this week, however, it was Alexander Isak from Newcastle – and that even considers the fact that he did not really mark Wednesday against Arsenal. He was a nuisance throughout the match, and James BEGE maintains that he may well be the best attacker in the world at the moment.
- Bend: “The domination of Isak of his central backs was such that if the opener had not come, he could have forced him at another time. Like Kai Havertz, Manful and not without his qualities, was led to distraction At the other end, feeding on what the five years of Newcastle would allow him, Isak was likely for himself and the happy ravages for William Saliba and Gabriel.
As dominant as Liverpool by Arne Slot has been this season this season, with only three defeats all competitions, Newcastle feels best suited to give them a race for their money. They only lost once in their last 13 games, conceding only seven goals during this section. This undoubtedly makes them – and not the reds – the most fit team of England, and gives them such a good blow to finish their drought of 70 years.

🇪🇸 Battle for first place in the Madrid derby

The Spanish capital will be the focal point of the La Liga race this weekend, when the first place in Real Madrid will host their regional rivals of Atletico Madrid, which are just a point behind them.
Understanding Real Madrid on first place comes in the middle of the ups and downs of this season, which have not left exactly in recent weeks, even if their first place indicates the opposite. They are only a week withdrawn from a 1-0 surprise defeat in Espanyol, and an injury crisis continues to interrupt their season. Antonio Rudiger has left this match with a muscle injury that will keep him away for the coming weeks, probably declaring him out of Real Madrid’s eliminatory phase with Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League. In addition, David Alaba – who only recently returned from an LCA tear – is now back on the sidelines with an adductor injury.
Aurelien Tchouameni will probably be one of the backs of the Los Blancos departure center on Saturday, just as he was a week ago while Eder Militao continues his recovery from a LCA tear. It will naturally be the large-scale offensive of Real Madrid to do the work and perhaps overcompensate for the exhausted defense, although it is easier to say than to do. While Kylian Mbappe is second in La Liga with 15 goals this season, the team can be a shy little goal in high -level matches.
Real Madrid’s misfortunes find a way to stand in the most unexpected days, but could be very expensive against one side of Atletico Madrid which has managed to inject a new life in the style of Diego Simeone. They have the best defense of the League, conceding only 14 goals in 22 games so far this season, and can count on a variety of scorers to help them win matches. Antoine Griezmann has eight league goals this season, but new signatures Alexander Sorho and Julian Alvarez had just as hard – the latter has eight while Alvarez has six in liga. They have also lost only one of their last 21 games, so they love their chances against Real Madrid – in particular with a fortune line.

💰 The back line
💵 Best Paris
- FA Cup: Manchester United against Leicester City, Friday, 3 p.m.
💰 The choice: Manchester United to win 3-1 (+850) – Manchester United is perhaps in the middle of a season to forget, but the cup competitions offer a kind of departure. Expect that the Red Devils take the opportunity before them, in particular with a favorable draw against candidates for the relegation of Premier League Leicester City. - FA Cup: Brighton and Hove Albion against Chelsea, Saturday, 3 p.m.
💰 The choice: Chelsea to win 2-1 (+850) – None of the two teams is in an exceptional form, so count on a competition match on Saturday. It is difficult not to promote Chelsea, however, because the blues are in the middle of a strong first season under the manager Enzo Maresca and have Cole Palmer, who is the human incarnation of a cheating code most often.
