Liverpool and Manchester City go head to head for Capital One Cup glory live on Sky Sports on Sunday.
Jurgen Klopp is hoping to clinch Liverpool's first piece of silverware since 2012 just a few months after his appointment, while Manuel Pellegrini is bidding to end his Manchester City tenure on a trophy-winning high.
Ahead of the big game, we look back at how the two sides made their way to Wembley...
LIVERPOOL
Third round - v Carlisle United (H) 1-1 (Liverpool won 3-2 on penalties)
Liverpool's Capital One Cup campaign started in inauspicious circumstances as League Two Carlisle United took them to a penalty shoot-out at Anfield. There were boos from the home fans as the Reds laboured through the 120 minutes, but Adam Bogdan became an unlikely hero when he saved three penalties in the shoot-out.
Fourth round - v Bournemouth (H) 1-0
Klopp earned his first win as Liverpool manager as they moved into quarter-finals at the expense of Bournemouth. Nathaniel Clyne scored the only goal of the game after Adam Smith had cleared Joao Carlos Teixeira's free-kick off the line. "I'm really satisfied because this team had never played together and the young players did really well," said Klopp.
Quarter-final - v Southampton (A) 6-1
Liverpool turned on the style in their last-eight clash at St Mary's Stadium, blowing Southampton away with a scintillating attacking performance. Sadio Mane put Saints in front after just 39 seconds on the night, but the visitors roared back with Daniel Sturridge scoring twice, Divock Origi claiming a hat-trick, and Jordan Ibe notching the other goal.
Semi-final - v Stoke City 1-1 on aggregate (Liverpool won 6-5 on penalties)
Ibe struck the only goal in the first leg of Liverpool's semi-final at the Britannia Stadium after replacing the injured Philippe Coutinho in the first half. In the return game at Anfield, Marko Arnautovic's close-range finish ensured the tie went to penalties. Simon Mignolet saved two of Stoke's efforts and Joe Allen dispatched the winning spot-kick.
MANCHESTER CITY
Third round - v Sunderland (A) 4-1
While many managers use the Capital One Cup to rotate their squad, Pellegrini wheeled out the big guns against Sunderland as City claimed an emphatic victory. Sergio Aguero opened the scoring from the penalty spot, with Kevin De Bruyne and Raheem Sterling scoring either side of a Vito Mannone own goal before Ola Toivonen's struck a late consolation for the Black Cats.
Fourth round - v Crystal Palace (H) 5-1
City made it nine goals in two games in the competition as they thrashed Alan Pardew's Crystal Palace in the fourth round. Wilfried Bony opened the scoring at the Etihad Stadium, and De Bruyne doubled their lead just before half-time. After the break, Kelechi Iheanacho, Yaya Toure and Spanish youngster Manu Garcia extended City's lead.
Quarter-final - v Hull City (H) 4-1
City continued to steamroller their way towards the final with a 4-1 thrashing of Championship outfit Hull City. Bony struck the opener in the early stages, but it wasn't until the last 10 minutes that the rest of the goals arrived. Iheanacho doubled their advantage and De Bruyne hit a quick-fire brace before Andrew Robertson scored a consolation goal for the visitors.
Semi-final - v Everton 4-3 on aggregate
After breezing into the semis, City were made to sweat for their place in the final. Pellegrini's side were beaten 2-1 in the first leg at Goodison Park, with Ramiro Funes Mori and Romelu Lukaku scoring either side of Jesus Navas' equaliser. At the Etihad Stadium, the Toffees appeared to be heading through before De Bruyne and Aguero struck in the final 20 minutes to give City a 4-3 aggregate win.
