The Capital One Cup final takes place on Sunday 28 February, with the match kicking off at 4.30pm.

Liverpool, Stoke, Manchester City and Everton are the four teams bidding for a place at Wembley Stadium where the first major piece of silverware will be decided.

After the first legs of the semi-finals, Liverpool lead Stoke 1-0 and Everton lead Manchester City 2-1.

Despite a cup final taking place at Wembley, Premier League matches are still scheduled for that weekend, meaning those involved will see their games postponed.

As it stands, Stoke are due to play Aston Villa on the Saturday and Manchester City are away against Newcastle on Sunday. Those who schedule the fixtures will be hoping for a Merseyside derby in the final, with the two sides already scheduled to meet on that Sunday afternoon but in the Premier League.

The winners of the tournament will replace reigning champions Chelsea as the holders of the League Cup.
