Chelsea vs Liverpool – EFL Cup

In a repeat of the 2021-22 EFL Cup final, Chelsea and Liverpool will scrap it out at Wembley on Sunday afternoon, fighting for the right to lift the first domestic honour of the 2023-24 campaign.

However, Klopp’s faith in academy prospects and fringe players has led to several less revered names stepping up when needed, and with Chelsea unable to shake their curse in domestic cup finals, the comeback kings in red remain our slight favourites to take home the title.

☑️ Liverpool: Kelleher; Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Endo, Mac Allister; Elliott, Gakpo, Diaz

Chelsea vs Liverpool Prediction

Liverpool did pick up an impressive 4-1 comeback win over Luton on Wednesday but it is hard to be optimistic about their chances with so many injured players ahead of the Carabao Cup final.

Chelsea picked up a valuable point at Manchester City last time out but they could find themselves on the wrong end of a thrashing against a rampant Liverpool outfit when the two sides contest the Carabao Cup final at Wembley.
