League Cup final

Goal!

The League Cup final has been a fixture on the football calendar since the 1960-61 season. This year's final will take place on Sunday 24 February, at the home of football in England - Wembley Stadium.

After beating Arsenal and Wigan on their way and winning their semi-finals against premiership giants Aston Villa, Bradford City made it through to this year's final. Bradford City are the first fourth tier team since 1962 to make it through to the League Cup final.

Bradford will take on the Premiership's only Welsh team, Swansea City in the final. This is the first time Swansea City have made it through to the League Cup final in the club's 100 year history. 

Swansea beat Chelsea 2-0 on aggregate in their semi-final to see them through to this year's final clash at Wembley Stadium.  

Last year saw Liverpool beat Cardiff City 3 - 2 on penalties after the game finished 2-2.
