The showpiece final at Wembley was due to kick off at 4.30pm but has been moved after consultation with the Metropolitan Police.

An EFL Spokesperson said: 'Following representations from the Metropolitan Police (MPS), the local safety advisory group has determined the 2024 Carabao Cup Final will now kick-off at 3pm.

'Having previously scheduled the usual 4.30pm kick-off time with Wembley and Sky Sports, it is disappointing to note the change at this late stage.'
