Domestic Competitions:
EFL Cup Final Preview: The 2025 EFL Cup final is scheduled for March 16, 2025, at Wembley Stadium, featuring Liverpool and Newcastle United. This marks Newcastle's third appearance in the final and Liverpool's fifteenth—the most by any club in this competition. Newcastle aims to end a significant trophy drought, with their last major honor being the 1968-69 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup. However, they will face challenges with key players Anthony Gordon (suspended), Lewis Hall (season-ending foot injury), and Sven Botman (eight-week knee injury) unavailable for the final.

Transfer and Contract News:
Diogo Dalot Interest: Bayern Munich and Real Madrid have expressed interest in signing Manchester United right-back Diogo Dalot. His adaptability and consistency have made him a target for these top clubs.

Rule Discussions:
Penalty Double-Touch Rule: UEFA has initiated discussions with FIFA and the International Football Association Board (IFAB) to review the rule that nullified Julián Álvarez’s shoot-out penalty against Real Madrid due to an unintentional double touch. Álvarez slipped, causing minimal contact with his standing foot, leading to the disqualification after VAR review. UEFA proposes that an unintentional double touch should result in a penalty retake instead of being disallowed.
