Chelsea face Liverpool in today's Carabao Cup final at Wembley Stadium with both teams set to battle it out for the first piece of domestic silverware of the 2021-22 season. Both teams have been in strong recent form ahead of what should be an exciting showdown.
Chelsea are fresh from winning silverware having won the FIFA Club World Cup earlier in February.
The Blues qualified for that competition courtesy of their Champions League success last term, and boss Thomas Tuchel will hope to add yet another trophy to the club's cabinet.
The west Londoners have won nine of their last 11 fixtures across all competitions since a 2-2 draw with Liverpool in January.
Liverpool are in even better form. Klopp’s side have won 10 of their 11 matches since that game.
Manchester City’s recent slip-up has seen Liverpool move back in contention for the Premier League title.
In the event of a draw, the match will go to extra time.
