Preview

The Carabao Cup final is here! Chelsea and Liverpool, two English heavyweights, prepare to lock horns in the highly-anticipated Wembley Stadium showdown as both sides go in search of silverware. Which team will come away from Sunday's 10 a.m. ET encounter with the trophy in hand?

While both teams wish to lift this cup, a victory on Sunday carries more meaning for Chelsea. Unlike Liverpool who are competing for the Premier League title, the Blues languish in 10th spot in the league and appear all but destined to miss out on European football next season.

As a result, this appears to be the only shot at silverware for Pochettino's side. The Argentine tactician has never won a title in England before despite his successful spell with Tottenham but will look to put this wait to an end when they face the Reds.

Sterling and Co. have also picked up some form in the build-up to this tie. The two-time UEFA Champions League winners are unbeaten in their last three outings, including a 1-1 draw away to Manchester City which is a lovely turnaround after suffering back-to-back defeats three weeks ago against — surprise, surprise — Liverpool and Wolves.

Additionally, Chelsea have overcome hurdles to make the Carabao Cup final and should take confidence from that. The London heavyweights met Brighton and Newcastle on the road to the final and overcame the odds by eliminating both clubs. Furthermore, Pochettino's men overcame a 1-0 first-leg defeat against Middlesbrough in the semifinals to thrash Carrick's team 6-1 in the second leg.

Liverpool, meanwhile, will be looking to pull off a repeat of their 4-1 demolition of Chelsea back in late January. Goals from Jota, Bradley, Szoboszlai, and Diaz secured Jurgen Klopp's men a convincing win but Sunday should present a new test.

The burden is on the Reds to deliver given that this is Klopp's final season as manager at Anfield. The Merseyside giants are currently top of the Premier League but are locked in a heated battle with Man City and Arsenal while being the favorites for the UEFA Europa League.

As a result, Salah and Co. are on the hunt for the quadruple and if they are to avoid a repeat of the 2021-22 collapse, a win at Wembley is necessary. Fortunately, Van Dijk and Co. enter this game on the back of phenomenal form, winning all but two of their last 12 fixtures.

Of those two slip-ups, only one was a defeat. That was the 3-1 loss at Arsenal which saw Van Dijk and Alisson make comical errors to aid the Gunners in their victory.

Additionally, Liverpool overcame tough opposition to make it this far, beating Championship leaders Leicester before eliminating Bournemouth, West Ham, and Fulham. The semifinal was a heatedly-contested fixture, with Klopp's men overcoming the Cottagers 3-2 on aggregate. Despite this, Sunday's final against Chelsea should present the Reds with their toughest test of this competition.

Team news

Chelsea: Marc Cucerella, Benoit Badiashile, Reece James, and Wesley Fofana are all injured. Robert Sanchez has recovered from his knee issue but might have to contend with a spot on the bench. Carney Chukwuemeka, Lesley Ugochukwu, and Romeo Lavia are all unavailable while Thiago Silva remains a doubt.

Liverpool: Klopp will be without several top players as well, with Alisson Becker, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ben Doak, Stefan Bajcetic, Joel Matip, Diogo Jota, Thiago Alcantara, and Curtis Jones all being injured. Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez, meanwhile, are doubts and might miss this crucial tie.
