Newcastle United are preparing for their first Wembley final in 24 years - with only Premier League rivals Manchester United standing in the way of ending their 54-year trophy drought.
Just under 33,000 Geordies will descend onto the West End of Wembley, and you can bet it’ll be some sight when kick-off approaches with Wor Flags planning to make the stadium a ‘home from home’.
So, are you a person that believes in omens? Well, we certainly do.
There have been some suggestions over the years of a ‘lucky end’ at Wembley, so we put that theory to the test and have gone all the way back to the first League Cup final at the New Wembley in 2008 to now.
Is the East side or West side the best? Or does it not really matter? We’ll let you be the judge of that.
