This Sunday marks the first final of English football as Liverpool face Chelsea once again in the final of the carabao cup. Klopp’s Liverpool will look to triumph over Pochettino’s Chelsea once again after beating them 4-1 in their last meeting.
Both teams come into the final on decent form and flurried with injury problems with both teams losing key players across the pitch.
