Match Preview

A dramatic match is expected at Wembley Stadium this weekend, as Liverpool and Chelsea collide in the EFL Cup final. It is the second time in three seasons that these sides will collide in the showpiece match in the competition, with the Reds holding their nerve to beat the Blues on penalties in both the EFL Cup and FA Cup finals in 2021-22.

Chelsea will see this competition as their best chance of landing silverware in Mauricio Pochettino’s first campaign in charge. They have eased through the competition this term, with their only defeat being suffered in their first leg against Middlesbrough in the previous round. However, they bounced back with a stunning 6-1 home victory.

Liverpool are one of the most successful teams in the history of the EFL Cup, and they remain in the hunt for four major trophies this term. The Reds have won all but one of their matches in the competition this season, and they progressed through to the final after securing a 3-2 aggregate success in the previous round against Fulham.

However, it could be worth mentioning that Liverpool were comprehensive winners in their latest match against Chelsea, recording a 4-1 success in the league against their rivals in late January. But, Chelsea showed that they are still improving after a battling display against Man City in the Premier League on Saturday.
