Chelsea vs Liverpool Analysis
Chelsea Preview
It has been a challenging first season at Stamford Bridge for Mauricio Pochettino, but the coach would take huge positives if he is able to end the 2023-24 campaign with a major trophy. Chelsea have eased through the EFL Cup throughout this season, beating Championship opposition in two of the previous three rounds.
Chelsea was forced to overturn a 1-0 defeat in their semi-final first leg against Middlesbrough, but they did that with a commanding 6-1 home win at Stamford Bridge. The Blues would take some confidence from the fact that they have recorded victories in four of their last six domestic cup fixtures against the Reds.
Chelsea Projected Lineup:
(4-2-3-1) Petrovic, Gusto, Colwill, Disasi, Chilwell, Fernandez, Caicedo, Palmer, Gallagher, Sterling, Nkunku
Chelsea Injuries:
The Blues still have a number of key injuries, with Marc Cucurella, Robert Sanchez, and Thiago Silva among the stars that they will be without this weekend.
Liverpool Preview
It could yet be a famous final season in charge at Anfield for Jurgen Klopp, as the Reds remain in the hunt for all cups, as well as the fact that they sit top of the soccer standings in the Premier League. Liverpool have won the EFL Cup on a record nine occasions, with their success in 2022 being their first win in the competition since 2016.
The Reds have eased through the competition this term, winning four of their five matches. Their only below-par effort came in the second leg of their semi-final after playing out a 1-1 draw with Fulham. Liverpool will take a lot of confidence from their recent record against the Blues after going eight without defeat across all competitions. However, five of the matches over that period have ended in draws.
Liverpool Projected Lineup:
(4-3-3) Kelleher, Bradley, Van Dijk, Konate, Robertson, Endo, Mac Allister, Gravenberch, Salah, Nunez, Diaz
Liverpool Injuries
Klopp will have no shortage of injuries to contend with this weekend, with Alisson, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Diogo Jota all missing. Curtis Jones is unlikely to return until mid-March.
Chelsea vs Liverpool Pick and Prediction
The soccer statistics show Chelsea wins in this fixture have been a rarity in recent seasons, while draws have been extremely common. However, the Reds appear challenging to overlook when making a Chelsea vs Liverpool prediction this weekend. Klopp’s side come into the final in red-hot form, and an early goal could put them on course for a straightforward 2-0 success.
- Pick: Liverpool -½ (-118)
