The Chelsea vs Liverpool match will definitely be much more anticipated than Fulham vs Chelsea. This is an interesting final for the EFL Cup, so I hope Liverpool really make it to the final today.

I think Liverpool will easily overcome Fulham even though Moh Salah is still not playing due to injury, in fact the meeting between Liverpool and Chelsea in the EFL final will definitely be eagerly awaited, especially since the meeting between the two will also take place in the EPL match as well as in early February to determine Liverpool's standings. It is important for Liverpool to maintain their consistency at the top of the EPL standings because if they fail to get full points it will certainly open up the opportunity for Manchester City to overtake them.

I don't agree if you think Liverpool can win this away match easily. In the first leg, Liverpool also received good pressure from Fulham and Fulham led the match until the end of the first half. Fulham, who basically played defensively, had to concede 2 goals in the second half where Curtis Jones and Cody Gakpo scored one goal each in 3 minutes between the 68th and 71st minutes.

In my opinion, Fulham playing at home should not be underestimated. Whatever the reason, Fulham will certainly try their best to win the match and qualify for the final. But of course, Liverpool is once again a team that has more advantages than Fulham. Their good form this season is hard to stop, but football is also full of surprises at times.

I know that a busy schedule means Kloop has to be clever in rotating his players, of course to get good results he also has to strategize well so he can get satisfying results. If he succeeds in beating Fulham in the EFL semi-finals, this will certainly take Liverpool to the final. The EFL meets Chelsea for the second time, I hope one of the two will show their best game at least not disappoint their supporters, even though I believe Liverpool are more favorites than Chelsea, but Chelsea also has the opportunity to surprise Liverpool. It seems they are also emerging from adversity.

Klopp certainly needs to consider player rotation considering that there are many tough matches awaiting them. Klopp needs to ensure a win against Fulham or at least a draw to qualify for the final, but I don't think he will risk too much by benching many of his main players today. I haven't seen the line-up yet, but I think Klopp will play his best players.
