source

Hello everyone,

This Sums up your weekend as European champions and World Champions Chelsea go head to head against Liverpool for the third time this season in the Carabao Cup Final at Wembley and I’m here with an exciting preview so sit back, enjoy and have a blissful weekend.

Preview

Chelsea are chasing an early season treble having already secured the UEFA super cup and also the club World Cup, The Blues are unbeaten away to English football clubs in 7 matches (6W,1D). Chelsea seems to be back to their best after beating Last season ligue 1 winners at home by 2goals to nil in the champions league. The five time Winners of this competition are the only Non Manchester based club to win this competition since 2013.

On the other hand Liverpool have a rich history in this competition as no team has appeared in more finals of this competition as them (12 finals) and they have won it 8 times no team has won more only man city has the same number of titles. A win here will make them all time overall winners of this competition. History seems like o be on Liverpool as no London side has beaten a club from the north in the final since Chelsea ironically beat Liverpool in 2005.Liverpool are bidding for their first honor after ending a 30 year wait to win the 2019/20 Premier League.

This could be a potential low scoring affair since with no side winning a Head to Head by 2+goals since 2020 (W1 , 2D) , these two teams could cancel the other out with one moment of magic or unfortunate mistake to decide this game.
