Chelsea vs Liverpool

Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool beat the Blues in the Carabao Cup final earlier in the season.

He did pose a threat to Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final as a 70th-minute substitute but may have to settle for a role off the bench again. There never used to be any guessing over who Liverpool’s front three would be for big games but the options open to manager Jurgen Klopp mean two players will be disappointed on Saturday. On current form Sadio Mane and Luis Diaz, who has made such an impact since his arrival in January, have to start which means the last place will surely go to Mohamed Salah despite scoring just two goals (both in the same game) in his last 13 appearances. It is not an unfamiliar job to the England international but he is not as effective as Fabinho in screening the back four.

Chelsea head to Wembley for another FA Cup final, their third in as many seasons, but they will be hoping for a change of fortune. Defeats against Arsenal and ...

In my opinion it is good to have a certain routine for the players. If it is a weekend only with the cup final and maybe the cup final for the women, there would be even more attention. “I think it can be anything, a shot from the post and deflected on the post out or the post in. For me it is not a distraction and hopefully for everybody that works on the team and the team itself it is not.” It’s very likely that it is one of the two but we will not give the line-up today. We will do everything to be happy with ourselves and that we leave everything out there on the pitch. Normally the club would buy these tickets to provide it for the players’ parents of the academy so we stepped in and bought the tickets for them.” We will evaluate any situation of any player including Romelu. We will see what is going to happen and what the plans are.” “*laughs* I think if he plans to talk with the owner it is not his plan to talk with me! That’s what it is sometimes in football, the attention is so high that sometimes it attracts situations that you don’t want to have before big matches. We always need our very highest level to compete but we found it in the matches. We will try in two and a half hours in training and we will know more about it.

Jurgen Klopp's side can complete a 2022 cup final double over Chelsea at Wembley on Saturday evening.

Betfred make Liverpool a shade of odds-against (21/20) to do just that, with Chelsea 11/4 outsiders to lift the trophy in regulation time. Sure, they dispatched Leeds with the minimum of fuss but that was only their second win in six games and the feeling remains that their season is petering out. If they can get anywhere near that level of form against Chelsea then the Blues won't be able to keep them at bay.

Liverpool hope to keep their hopes of winning a quadruple of trophies alive on Saturday when they face Chelsea in the FA Cup final.

Backing both teams to score at 7/10 (1.7) seems like a good bet. Chelsea vs Liverpool preview Chelsea vs Liverpool latest odds

Chelsea will rock back the years ahead of the FA Cup final bout with Liverpool, and - for the superstitious - Thomas Tuchel has been gifted an early boost.

"There are not a lot of bigger games to be part of and it's why we are grateful and we will be well prepared. It will not give us the Carabao Cup title back but we are here and were here last season in the FA Cup final and that means an unbelievable lot to us." "We lost, of course, the final.

The Inside Track brings you the best in betting tips with tipster Tom Phillips looking ahead to Chelsea's trip to Wembley to face Liverpool in the FA Cup ...

For the Reds, Jurgen Klopp will be looking to get his side to secure his first FA Cup of his career, Liverpool's first in 16 years and their second trophy this season. Chelsea will be looking to end this season on a high note and avoid another disappointing trip to Wembley with the FA Cup firmly in Thomas Tuchel's hands as they seek revenge on Liverpool who got the better of the London club in the EFL Cup earlier this season. Both teams to score is 8/11.

Chelsea are out for Carabao Cup revenge, while Liverpool hope to keep their Quadruple dream alive when they face off in the men's FA Cup final.

Jordan Henderson replaced Fabinho at Villa Park and the England international will have a key role in stopping the supply line to Chelsea's forwards while also helping Liverpool break the Blues' press. He'll be looking for space in an area of the pitch that looks certain to be vacated by Fabinho. In midfield, Fabinho will be a big miss after suffering a hamstring injury against Aston Villa on Tuesday, but he should be fit for the Champions League final at least. It is difficult to see how this will lack goals like the Carabao Cup final did. It is for this reason, more than any other, that Tuchel will be tempted to restore Kai Havertz to lead the attack at the expense of Romelu Lukaku, who has started the past two Premier League games, scoring three times. Salah, Mane, and Diaz are all obvious threats for Liverpool but looking a little deeper, Chelsea's Mason Mount will feel he has a particular point to prove. There is a little more optimism surrounding Kante, and he is more likely to partner Jorginho in central midfield. Tuchel must decide whether Christian Pulisic, Timo Werner, or Hakim Ziyech play alongside Mount. Werner's finishing is often in doubt, but his pace is not, and that speed will be a useful weapon against Liverpool's high line. Boehly is likely to be at Wembley on Saturday as Chelsea prepare for a new era. Given the history at stake, probably Liverpool. Klopp has sought to deflect any quadruple talk, but success in four competitions would elevate this Liverpool team to indisputable status as one of the greatest in English football history. Ever since, Tuchel has had to field questions on everything from war to morality while maintaining morale among a group of players and staff facing restrictions over day-to-day operations resulting from the terms of a special government licence granted to keep fulfilling fixtures. A consortium led by Los Angeles Dodgers part-owner Todd Boehly is now seeking U.K. government and Premier League approval to complete a takeover.

In the meantime, The Liverpool Offside team will keep you updated with all of the team news and match buildup as it becomes available, along with providing a matchday liveblog and post-match recaps and reaction. Thomas Tuchel: “I think it can be anything, a shot from the post and deflected on the post out or the post in. It will be down to details within the match. We are desperate to win it but the opponent is the same. Look at the big chances we had, they had too in the Carabao Cup. It can be about who gets the lead first, who gets a grip. The front three will be three of Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mané, Luis Díaz, and Diogo Jota. Any three would be sound. It is a massive final for us and we are really happy that we are a part of it. Klopp could go Thiago and Naby Keïta, though a surprise inclusion of James Milner would not be completely out of the blue. The back five asks the manager to choose between Joël Matip and Ibrahima Konaté — both of whom have had an excellent season. Because their top-four position seemed safe and because they’ve been knocked out of the European Cup it’s possible their performances reflect the fact that they’ve got nothing to play for (“on the beach,” as it were). It can be hard to return to top performance levels after not having to go to the well for weeks on end, but then there’s always The Chelsea v. Chelsea have been in poor form recently — though it must be said that Liverpool have looked less than great in the past two matches. As a set of results, they’re hard to draw conclusions from — and they’re strange performances as well.

Lukaku gets the nod up front, while Chalobah starts in place of Azpilicueta. FA Cup finals have not been particularly enjoyable for Chelsea over the last couple of seasons. We have a plan of what we can do. I’m a bit torn in how much you can practice.” If it comes, you will see. I have an opinion about it.

Chelsea takes on Liverpool in the FA Cup final on Saturday at Wembley Stadium, here is the complete gambling guide for the contest.

The outcome of this match will play a huge part in determining the ultimate success of the Blues’ season, so let’s hope for an ending on a high note. All of this season’s preceding clashes have been relatively even affairs that ended in draws after 90’ though, including the memorable League Cup final that was decided by a missed Kepa Arrizabalaga penalty kick back in February. Judging by the odds on many FA Cup final bets, the bookmakers are clearly envisioning another close contest, which is great news for us gamblers. Regardless, Chelsea is deservedly back in the FA Cup final for the third consecutive season with the burden of potentially halting Liverpool’s quest for the quadruple before it really begins.

Jurgen Klopps side can complete a domestic cup double by scoring a narrow victory in Saturdays showpiece at Wembley.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp on the FA Cup final: "It's a big expectation, to be honest. We always need our very highest level to compete, but we found it in the matches. So, yeah, massive game coming up and you are right: final after final after final, but we make differences still. Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel on whether the FA Cup final will be a high-intensity affair: "Anything else would surprise me. Liverpool are feeling the strain of trying to land the quadruple but having beaten Chelsea on penalties and then Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-final, Wembley has been a happy hunting ground for them in recent times. "I loved the Carabao Cup final this year, it was an incredible game, it was against Chelsea and 120 minutes - madness! "Very close, very intense matches. After just one goal in 10 games - an FA Cup strike at Championship side Middlesbrough - he's netted three in the last two matches after a brace against Wolves and a late strike at Leeds. Chelsea have been in a bit of a funk, taking just two points out of nine in the Premier League when drawing with Manchester United and Wolves and losing at Everton. Thiago Alcantara has really found a groove in midfield and will be desperate to impress at Wembley having had to sit out the Carabao Cup final after injuring himself in the pre-match warm-up. In the last two matches they've drawn 1-1 at home to Spurs - a game that looks set to be costly in the title race - and edged past Aston Villa 2-1. The Reds beat Chelsea to land the first, the Carabao Cup, and once again it's the Blues they face when Jurgen Klopp and Thomas Tuchel battle for glory in Saturday's FA Cup final.

Chelsea vs Liverpool promises to be an epic FA Cup final at Wembley on Saturday as Jurgen Klopp's machine aim to keep their quadruple hopes alive.

As for Chelsea this is the fourth major final Thomas Tuchel has reached in just over a year as Blues boss (two FA Cup finals, one League Cup final and the Champions League final) and he would dearly love to win this trophy to go along with the UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup Chelsea have already added to the trophy cabinet in 2021-22. Chelsea have reached the FA Cup final in each of the last two seasons but lost to Arsenal and Leicester City on both occasions. Given the fact they already have the League Cup trophy, are just behind Manchester City in the Premier League title race heading into the final two games and are in the UEFA Champions League final against Real Madrid in Paris on May 28, this final represents the start of what could be an historic two weeks for Liverpool, even by their own high standards.

So, time to change that. And also time to end our losing habit in FA Cup finals, seeing as how we've now made three in a row and five of the last six, but have ...

Thomas Tuchel will also have a big decision to make for the third player in the back-three (Christensen? Chalobah? Azpilicueta?). That’s what I expect from Chelsea and that’s what I especially expect from us.” Chelsea team news: Chelsea are nominally the home team, but have already confirmed that we will be wearing our (luckier?) away yellow kit. (And the women’s team can make ours a double by beating Manchester City on Sunday in the Women’s FA Cup final!) Kai Havertz and Timo Werner are more rested, but are no longer on a hot streak. Sanctions have prevented the club from arranging complimentary tickets for the FA Cup Final for academy players U8-U16 in the usual way.

Mateo Kovacic and NGolo Kante hope to be fit to face Liverpool in Saturdays FA Cup final; Thomas Tuchel: Its the moment to take risks; Chelsea boss admits ...

"It will never happen that we see the FA Cup final as a normal game. It felt outstanding and we want to have that again." It is a massive final for us and really happy to be a part of. We want to deliver it for our people." "It was a reduced training session because of long travel and fatigue of the travelling, so it was not a high-intensity session. But he is keen to make it and hopefully he makes it to training 100 per cent so that we can plan with him tomorrow. "We will try it today, which is pretty surprising news," he said on the Croatian international. "We will talk to anybody. He did everything to stay on the pitch. "If we take that role, no problem. "There's nothing to be jealous of from my side. "But at the same time, I don't think it's only here.

Jurgen Klopp has prioritised the big prizes during his time as Liverpool boss but winning the FA Cup would edge his side one step closer to immortality.

If you cannot win the top prizes make sure you are in a position to win everything else. Whether through circumstance, design or a bit of both, Liverpool are on the cusp of winning both domestic cups, having already defeated Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final. Winning a sixth European Cup in 2019 and a first league title in three decades in 2020 were the “life-changing” moments that Pochettino eluded to; Liverpool went from being a very good team to a great one. The only way to reach such immortality is to win the whole lot. Where once there was the front three, now there’s a famous five. In Klopp’s first FA Cup game – a 2-2 draw against Exeter City at St James Park in 2016 – the average squad number of Liverpool’s eleven starters was 34.

The most notable of which included not disallowing the host’s opening goal and deciding Aaron Cresswell’s challenge on Jordan Henderson wasn’t worthy of a straight red card. In the FA Cup and Champions League however, the Merseysiders control their own fate with two massive finals set to decide how their season will be reflected upon in years to come. The Reds have already overcome Thomas Tuchel’s charges at the home of football, lifting the EFL Cup back in February following a penalty shootout. Liverpool ’s Premier League destiny now lies out of their hands and they will need a favour from either West Ham or Aston Villa, if they are to win a second title in three years.

Liverpool midfielder, Fabinho will sit out Saturday's FA Cup final with Chelsea due to an injury, club coach Jurgen Klopp has confirmed.

As a result, Fabinho will not be available against Chelsea but will recover in time to keep a date with Real Madrid. “There’s a good chance that he will be back whenever – not for the weekend but whenever,” Klopp told Liverpoolfc.com.
