Carabao Cup prize money 2023-24: How much do the winners take home?
THE Carabao Cup is a sometimes disrespected tournament – but winning it comes with many benefits such as collecting prize money.
Last year, Manchester United took home the jackpot after they beat Newcastle in a thrilling final at Wembley.
This season will see Premier League rivals Liverpool and Chelsea go head-to-head at the home of English football.
Jurgen Klopp’s Reds will be aiming for a record-extending tenth League Cup win this weekend, while the Blues hope to claim their first trophy in the competition since the 2014/15 season under Jose Mourinho.
The winner is guaranteed a place in Europe as well as dipping their hands in the prize pot.
