Newcastle United are facing a selection headache as they prepare to face Manchester United in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley on Sunday afternoon.
Eddie Howe's side will be without first-choice goalkeeper Nick Pope for the clash with the Reds through suspension, while second-choice shot-stopper Martin Dubravka is ironically cup-tied having represented United in the competition while on loan earlier this season. As a result, former Liverpool man Loris Karius will come in for his first competitive game in almost two years.
The 29-year-old German will make his first appearance for an English side since his horror showing in the 2018 Champions League final for Liverpool, in which he made two costly mistakes as Real Madrid won 3-1.
