Liverpool manager Arne Slot believes his side will face one of their toughest challenges of the season when they meet Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup final.
Softfootball reports the Dutch tactician is delighted to have guided the Reds to their first final under his leadership but insists the job is far from complete.
Liverpool booked their place at Wembley with a commanding 4-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield, overturning a first-leg deficit in impressive fashion. The Reds produced a dominant display that underlined their credentials as favourites for silverware this season.
Despite the convincing performance, Slot is refusing to underestimate Newcastle, who eliminated Arsenal with an equally convincing display in the other semi-final.
He acknowledged the Magpies possess quality across the pitch and have shown throughout the competition that they are capable of defeating top opposition.
The Liverpool boss also praised his players for their commitment and continuous desire to improve, insisting reaching finals is the reward for their hard work on the training ground.
With a trophy now within touching distance, Slot hopes his side can maintain their momentum and deliver another memorable performance at Wembley.
