Going by performance in the tournament I think Liverpool stand some chance against Chelsea team.
It's a final game and you can't exactly always predict performance regardless of how each team has performed in their previous games before this final. Both teams stand a chance to lift the Carabao cup. Kieta will be starting for Liverpool and he has to impress as Thiago has had an injury while warming up for this game. Chelsea is without Ziyecha but i am sure they can cope. looking to see how the first 45mins will go.

Rooting for my team (Liverpool) to clinch the Carabao cup title as this might be one of the few opportunities we would have to lift a trophy this year (UCL still as tough as ever and it's a top battle for the PL title against City as well). I'm hoping Klopp fields a strong squad against Chelsea on Sunday. As a matter of fact, winning a trophy now that we're this close to City would most likely boost our team confidence to compete more for PL title. It would be an easy task though since Tuchel has eyes on the Carabao cup from the onset.
Going by performance in the tournament I think Liverpool stand some chance against Chelsea team. Chelsea beat Tottenham by 1 goal and Liverpool defeated Arsenal by 2: 0 . And in the cause of the both games, Liverpool has been good on the ball usually in their traditional way but I read online that Jurgen Klopp may have some challenges but fingers waiting anyway. The match is starting up by 5:30 African time tomorrow Sunday.

The game is taking place on Sunday 27th February. Whether Chelsea win or lose the final, they could find themselves in an uncomfortable place in the Premier League table because if Manchester United win their home game against Watford tomorrow - they will be just 1 point even though they would have played 2 games more.
Liverpool have started to narrow the gap against Manchester City at the top of the table so can take their mind away that and focus on this game with a view to trying to win the final.

Which team do you think will win this game?
I think Chelsea will win in 90 minutes therefore no extra-time and no penalties. The score ending up something like 2-1

@JollyGood this one will be classic game to watch, because both managers would want to win a cup before this season ends and hence I expect them to field their best team for the finale. Furthermore I feel that Liverpool is a stronger side and my favourite to win this cup, but then again Tuchel and his tactics can’t be ignored so I’m really torn on whom to wager, what about you which team do you think will win?.

I think you are right. Liverpool played in a positive way but to be fair so did Arsenal before and even after the sending-off. They had chances to win it but did not take them whereas Liverpool ended up taking their very late chances to win.
Chelsea vs Liverpool is the same as Tuchel vs Klopp
@JollyGood I personally believe it was all about the positive attitude yesterday, and these Liverpool player’s despite missing several top stars showed their positive attitude on the pitch and easily defeated arsenal. Although Chelsea are not playing great at the moment, but I feel that the final game will be different and they can definitely beat Liverpool if they play well, hence let’s hope that we get to see an entertaining match between these two top sides.

Arsenal 0-2 Liverpool
Arsenal fielded a strong team but lost to a Liverpool team that had first team choice players missing. Jota scored both Liverpool goals.
I am not sure if Arsenal wanted to win this game to the extent they would have postponed the north London derby against Tottenham but whatever happened it is Liverpool going to Wembley to play Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday 27th February 2022.

Was expecting much more from Arsenal in this match. With Liverpool not having a lot of players in this match due to an African tournament. But i think we will probobly see Liverpool winning this tournament they are for me the main favorites in it.

There were moments of excitement in the game.
Liverpool could have scored at the end to seal the win but Minamino hit the ball over the bar when it seemed like an empty goal. Arsenal could have scored in the first half after Xhaka was sent off but Saka could not control the ball when it was crossed in to him.
Hopefully the return leg will be much more interesting.

It was a boring match for me to be honest. The main reason was that we didn't watch any goal in the first place. Yeah, maybe Liverpool dominated the match very highly but this didn't change anything for them. They were just desperately trying to get ahead against a one-man absent Arsenal. And Arsenal did a really good job by resisting them till the end as they played like this for more than an hour. I wonder what will happen in Emirates.

Arsenal vs Liverpool in the 2nd leg of the semi-final will take place on Thursday 20th January 2022.
I think Arsenal are in an excellent position to win the game if Liverpool play a weakened side and are capable of causing an upset even if Liverpool play a strong starting 11. They have been slowly improving under Arteta and are now fighting for a top 4 finish, that is how far they have come under their manager Arterta and he deserves a lot of credit for steadying the ship at Arsenal. I was one of his biggest critics not that long ago but I have to give him credit.
As for Liverpool, they can easily play with inexperienced players to rest regular first team players and even win those games to get to this stage of the competition but they should not underestimate Arsenal because Liverpool are fighting on multiple fronts to win trophies but for Arsenal this is probably their best chance win anything in the 2021/22 season.
The final will take place between Chelsea and the winners of the Arsenal vs Liverpool game

The game ended with a goalless draw. Even though Arsenal had Xhaka sent off
-snip-
Liverpool missed a chance to win vs 10 Arsenal's players in Anfield. They are lacking the service of both Salah and Mane and they will play most likely with the same players next game but maybe with another strategy.-snip-
-snip-
Arsenal is doing quite good lately and they might pass Liverpool but I doubt they could beat Chelsea. For Liverpool, once they succeed to pass Arsenal, they might have a better chance to beat Chelsea.
Regarding the actual performance, I think Chelsea has better chances than the other teams.

Liverpool 0-0 Arsenal
The game ended with a goalless draw. Even though Arsenal had Xhaka sent off after just 24 minutes for dangerous play on Jota, for some reason Liverpool could not make that count. The return leg will be at Arsenal and they will surely be difficult to beat unless Liverpool put out a full first team. I think Liverpool might regret not taking advantage of this game.
If I'm not mistaken, Liverpool not only failed to score a single goal in this match, but even failed to land a single shot on goal. It can be said that the removal of Jak played a bad joke with the Liverpool players and they could not find the keys to the Arsenal team. Or we can say that the early removal of their player forced Arsenal to change the model of their game and forced them to focus even more on defending their own goal. Even more, at the beginning and in the middle of the half Arsenal played at times even better than the opponent and it was completely unnoticeable that the team had one less player. And only at the end of the match, when the Arsenal players got tired, Liverpool put pressure on the opponent's goal and had chances to score the ball. The game ended with a goalless draw. Even though Arsenal had Xhaka sent off after just 24 minutes for dangerous play on Jota, for some reason Liverpool could not make that count. The return leg will be at Arsenal and they will surely be difficult to beat unless Liverpool put out a full first team. I think Liverpool might regret not taking advantage of this game.
@JollyGood Liverpool are without Salah and this is an excellent opportunity for Arsenal to try their luck and win this fixture, hence I would say the same scoreline but with different team i.e. Arsenal. Lastly I feel that Arteta may be keen to win a trophy and this tournament is an excellent chance of winning it, hence I feel Arsenal should be able to beat Liverpool.

I believe that Pep would be very happy to be knocked out, because this means he has one less midweek fixture to deal with and of course he won’t openly say it, but when you’re gunning for the premier league title and champions league then being in this competition is not important.
Pep isn't a loser; he'll give everything he's got to win any prize that comes his way, and he's won the league cup three times in a row. Given the high level of competitiveness in the league today, I'm sure the setback came as a shock; every cup is now essential in the league.Also West Ham seems very determined this year, and I do believe they should win at least one trophy, but the season is long and they’ll have to keep this momentum only then can they win some trophy this season.
Not sure about this the league is so competitive now it's than ever, they may not survive the next wrong of the fixture. . Jump to:
