Liverpool has told fans to be careful when buying tickets for the Carabao Cup final to avoid being scammed and vowed that anyone caught reselling tickets online will be banned for life.
The club informed supporters who successfully qualified for tickets that they will receive a digital pass to stop fake sellers and touts. The Reds take on Chelsea at Wembley a week on Sunday (February 25) with Jurgen Klopp's side favourites to win the League Cup trophy for a record 10th time.
The club reminded fans in a statement: "Supporters who were successful in purchasing Carabao Cup final tickets for the clash with Chelsea at Wembley on Sunday February 25 are reminded they will receive their ticket in the form of a digital pass during the week of the final. This will be distributed to fans via club email and is the only way supporters will receive official LFC general admission tickets for this fixture. There will be no official LFC general admission tickets in circulation ahead of the week of the final, so please beware of any fake tickets.

"Liverpool FC reiterates its call for supporters to only purchase tickets for the Carabao Cup final from the club, as it is the only official seller of LFC general admission tickets for this game. Fans should be aware of the risks of buying fake tickets from third-party websites or unofficial sellers, and the real possibility of being refused entry into Wembley Stadium. If supporters do purchase tickets from unofficial sellers, the club will not be in a position to help if they are refused entry."
