The Carabao Cup final at Wembley will have safe standing for the first time in 35 years.

Bosses of the EFL confirmed that Manchester United and Newcastle United can sell close to 900 tickets each for a special standing section at the ground.

Standing has not been allowed at English grounds since 1989, when 97 people died in the Hillsborough disaster.

Authorities have worked very hard to ensure that when standing is reintroduced, it is safe.

The Sports Ground Safety Authority believe it will even help with recent crowd issues at grounds.

The railing of safe standing sections may be safer for fans during goal celebrations.
