Four have been lost.

For the current Liverpool squad, they can draw on the experience of last year’s final against Chelsea for inspiration.

It was Virgil van Dijk who got the winner that day, scoring the only goal in 240 minutes of Carabao Cup final action between the Reds and Chelsea since 2022.

Games against Newcastle usually have goals, though.

And with Liverpool players looking to add his name to this list on Sunday, we take a look at every Reds goal scorer across their 14 League Cup finals so far.

Liverpool’s first League Cup final came back in March 1978.

Alan Kennedy thought he’d won it with two minutes to go of extra-time, only for a late, late Hammers penalty to level the score.

Again, a replay was needed, with goals from Kenny Dalglish and Alan Hansen handing the Reds a come-from-behind victory for their first ever League Cup win.

A year later, Liverpool were taken to extra-time again, this time by Tottenham Hotspur.

This final belonged to 23-year-old Steve McManaman, who got both goals in a 2-1 win.

Six years went by before the Reds played in another final, with another academy starlet – Robbie Fowler – scoring the only goal against Birmingham City.

Liverpool went on to win on penalties.

Two years later, in 2003, the Reds made it two League Cup final wins from two against Man United.

Rafael Benitez’s first season in 2005 brought a clash with fellow Premier League newcomer Jose Mourinho.

Mourinho and his Chelsea team won the day, although they were rocked when Norwegian John Arne Riise scored the fastest goal in League Cup final history after just 46 seconds at Cardiff.

Chelsea hit back with three unanswered goals, including an own-goal from Gerrard, before lesser-known Spaniard Antonio Nunez grabbed a late consolation.

Liverpool had better success in 2012, when Martin Skrtel and Dirk Kuyt were on the scoresheet during a penalty shootout victory against Cardiff City.

Another loss unfortunately followed in 2016, but it did bring a goal for Philippe Coutinho who offered hope of a first trophy for Jurgen Klopp after a late equaliser against Man City.
