As Liverpool prepares to face Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup final, questions arise about whether Alisson will start or if the role will go to Caoimhin Kelleher. Kelleher has a strong history in the League Cup, notably winning it in 2021/22 against Chelsea and performing well in subsequent matches. With Alisson having recently played in the Champions League, manager Arne Slot faces a critical decision, likely favoring Kelleher given his effective performances in domestic cup competitions and the team's success in reaching finals.
Kelleher kept Chelsea out for 90 minutes plus extra time again in last season's final, won by a Virgil van Dijk goal late in extra time.
Following in Klopp's footsteps, Slot has generally opted for the 26-year-old in the domestic cups. According to Daily Mail reporter Lewis Steele, it is more likely than not that Kelleher will be restored to the team.
Liverpool's Alisson could miss out on the Carabao Cup final, raising questions about who will be between the posts for this crucial match.
The Reds have reached the final in three of the last four seasons, showcasing their consistency and competitiveness in the League Cup.
