Chelsea vs Liverpool Prediction & Betting Tips - Carabao Cup
by Ian John in Carabao Cup Predictions
Sunday afternoon at 3pm sees Chelsea face Liverpool in the Carabao Cup Final. It will be the second League Cup Final between the two teams in the past three years and the third domestic final in that period. Liverpool won both previous encounters in these finals on penalties after a 0-0 draw. The Reds currently top the Premier League and beat Chelsea 4-1 recently at Anfield, but injuries have hit Jurgen Klopp's squad hard in recent matches. Chelsea have been hot and cold this season but as they showed in drawing away from home at Man City last weekend, the Blues can up their game against anybody on their day.Limited Offer.

Chelsea - Liverpool: Form Analysis
Chelsea come into this game on the back of three games unbeaten, including creditable wins at Aston Villa and Crystal Palace, plus a battling 1-1 draw at Manchester City last weekend. Prior to those three games, the Londoners had suffered two heavy defeats, losing 4-2 at home to Wolves and prior to that they were soundly beaten 4-1 by today's opponents Liverpool at Anfield. Overall, Chelsea's results have been trending more positively over the last couple of months or so, especially in the cup competitions. Mauricio Pochettino will want to tighten things up defensively. The Londoners have shipped 11 goals in their last five games, scoring 10 in reply.
Liverpool come into this game with a chance still of winning four trophies in what will be Jurgen Klopp's final year with the club. The Reds, like Chelsea, remain in the FA Cup, where they face a 5th Round tie with Southampton next week, they are also in the Round of 16 in the Europa League and are of course top of the Premier League, as well as contesting Sunday's final. Despite the lengthy injury list, Liverpool have kept winning despite several players being injured or missing time over the last few weeks. Much will depend on whether Mo Salah and Darwin Nunez are fit as to the team that Klopp will select but with just one defeat in their last 10 Premier League games, whoever the Reds pick should be confident that they can get the job done against a team they beat 4-1 just a few weeks ago.

Chelsea & Liverpool Squad Analysis
Chelsea will be hoping that Thiago Silva can make a return from an injury that saw him miss the draw with Manchester City last week. The experienced Brazilian centre back is back in training and manager Mauricio Pochettino said that he had "a chance" of being fit for the final. Marc Cucurella is also back in training after missing a lengthy spell out, but he is unlikely to be risked from the start. The Londoners will be without several long-term injury absentees though in Wesley Fofana, Reece James, Carney Chukwumeka, Benoit Badiashile, Romeo Lavia and Lesley Ugochukwu. Robert Sanchez is back in training but it is expected Pochettino will keep faith with young keeper Petrovic for the final after he deputised well for the ex-Brighton man. Cole Palmer will be fit and likely to start with the ex-Manchester City man being Chelsea's best player this season, while Raheem Sterling will be hoping to keep his place in the team to face one of his former teams.
Liverpool's injury list for the final is a lengthy one and it is one that will make manager Jurgen Klopp more than a little concerned as the Reds chase trophies on four fronts over the coming months. Long term absentees definitely out include Joel Matip, Stefan Bajcetic, Ben Doak and Thiago, while they have been joined on the sidelines and unable to start at the weekend by Diogo Jota, Alisson, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Curtis Jones. Midfielder Dominiki Szoboszlai is rated touch and go to be fit for the game. Liverpool are hopeful that the injuries sustained by Mo Salah and Darwin Nunez, who both missed the midweek 4-1 home win over Luton, won't be enough to rule them out of the final. Salah in particular would be a big miss for the Reds given his excellent form once again this season both as a scorer and as an assist-maker.

This is available in 80 different competitions including the major leagues across Europe and can be played on the full-time result market. Singles and multiples are both valid for this offer but you cannot bet on enhanced price markets.
