Newcastle, however, are without key players.

Anthony Gordon is currently serving a three-match ban after getting a red card against Brighton in the FA Cup.

Lewis Hall and Sven Botman have also been ruled out through injury.

Supporters John and Joe told BBC Radio Newcastle they were feeling anxious and excited after travelling down from Cheshire this morning.

"I'm 47 and I haven't seen us win anything," said John.

"England and Newcastle, I haven't seen anyone win anything in my life. So today's the day I think."

John said when he left the house this morning he saw two magpies.

"That's the thing, 2-0, that's where it's going to go," he said.

"We've got to do it."

The last trophy for the club was in 1969, the old Fairs Cup, but the 1955 FA Cup was the club's last domestic success.

Alan Shearer, who captained Newcastle in the 1999 FA Cup final, said he "will be as nervous as any supporter".

"I know I am biased but if any set of fans deserves a trophy it is the Newcastle supporters because of their passion, their loyalty and how they have stuck by the team over the years," he wrote for BBC Sport.

The last Newcastle player to score at Wembley 25 years ago, Rob Lee, said it was a title he hoped to lose today.

"We haven't got a great record at Wembley, he said.

"But if Isak or anybody in the team breaks it then we win the game, I will be absolutely delighted.

"I'll be partying with the rest of the Geordies."

On Saturday, the iconic Angel of the North statue in Gateshead was draped in a black and white shirt, with crowds of people turning up to take photos.

One fan, Steph who brought her family to see it, said: "It just represents so much as well about pride in the city and bringing people together."

The Gateshead Millennium Bridge spanning the River Tyne also displayed a banner.
