The EFL Cup final will take place on Sunday at Wembley. Liverpool and Newcastle fans, however, will have to plan their time in the English capital a bit differently.
Details: London police have announced that Trafalgar Square—a gathering spot primarily for Newcastle supporters ahead of the 2023 final—will be closed to visitors.
The Brent Council (the borough where Wembley is located) will enforce a ban on alcohol consumption on Olympic Way and its surrounding areas. This rule is in effect during all events at Wembley Stadium.
Reminder: Previously, Newcastle's head coach Eddie Howe emphasized that choosing the lineup for this game is a tough decision for him.
