Got to be honest, I have really bad vibes about this - not just after the effects of Wednesday, but also the thug they have in midfield. I’m not convinced this ref will give us any protection. Although he will, of course, give them every fake foul going. I’d love a repeat of ‘74, but as I say, very apprehensive.
Really pleased with this preview. As I said on the Distance Covered podcast this week, my prediction is 2-0 Liverpool.
But the Reds win very few cup finals in 90 minutes... will this be an exception?

Yes, I hate caring who the referee is but Brooks feels like a 'level it for the underdog' sort of ref.
Newcastle 3-0.
I'm not going to jinx this!
If this is the score, I will hunt you down!!
