On Sunday afternoon, Chelsea and Liverpool do battle at Wembley in the Carabao Cup final.

CHELSEA

The Blues look to now be out of the race for the Premier League. However, they are very much still alive in the Champions League and the FA Cup. This clash offers Thomas Tuchel’s team their first chance to win domestic silverware this season.

The team from south west London are unbeaten in their last seven matches in all competitions. They have also won four of their last six games in 90 minutes and the other two matches in extra time.

Chelsea have already beaten Aston Villa, Southampton, Brentford and Tottenham in the Carabao Cup. The Blues have kept three straight clean sheets in the Carabao Cup.

Liverpool

Jurgen Klopp’s team have hit a hot run of form, as the Reds are unbeaten in their last 12 matches in all competitions, having recorded nine straight competitive wins. A 6-0 home win over Leeds last time out was particularly impressive.

Although the team from Merseyside are lethal going forward, they have also been solid in defence of late, keeping clean sheets in four of their last five matches in all competitions.

Liverpool are unbeaten in five games in the League Cup, having recorded three wins in normal time and one victory on penalty kicks. Like Chelsea, Liverpool have been solid in defence in the Carabao Cup, having kept four clean sheets in their five matches in the competition this season.
