The Reds currently hold 10 EFL Cup titles and 8 FA Cup trophies, totaling 18 domestic honors.

A win at Wembley would bring them level with United’s tally of 19, comprising 13 FA Cups and 6 EFL Cups. Manager Arne Slot has expressed confidence ahead of the final, calling it "a huge opportunity to add to the club's legacy."
