The Carabao Cup has been known to be overlooked by some, but in reality, winning it comes with numerous benefits, including prize money.
Last year, Manchester United emerged victorious over Newcastle in a thrilling final at Wembley, taking home the jackpot.
This year, Premier League rivals Liverpool and Chelsea are set to face off at the home of English football, with Jurgen Klopp’s Reds aiming for their record-extending tenth League Cup win, while the Blues hope to secure their first trophy in the competition since the 2014/15 season under Jose Mourinho.
The victorious team not only secures a place in Europe but also receives a share of the prize pot. The prize money is broken down as follows:
– First round winners – £5,000
– Second round winners – £7,000
– Third round winners – £10,000
– Fourth round winners – £15,000
