SUNDAY’S Capital One Cup final feels a bit of a weird one. A one-off showpiece occasion, with Liverpool slight underdogs against the financial might of moneybags Manchester City. And yet, it lacks the edge of a clash with more traditional rivals; the existence...
NEIL ATKINSON and Mike Nevin are joined by Paul Johnson and John Gibbons for the second part of our League Cup ‘What We Call History’ special to talk about the five remaining League Cup Finals Liverpool have played in. There is The Reds relaxed against...
