Sunday’s Carabao Cup final has a whole host of ready made narratives set to make it a hugely exciting encounter - with the EFL’s appointment of who will referee the match set to add another layer of intrigue.

After Ibrahima Konate avoided a red card in the first leg of the Champions League tie, Campos was filmed raging at referee Davide Massa at half-time. Van Dijk responded by telling him “It’s not Ligue 1, bro”, an apparent reference to a conspiracy theory that PSG get favourable refereeing in their domestic league.
