In the first leg, Chelsea managed to beat Tottenham 1-4 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Chelsea made a surprise in that match and then forced Manchester City to a 4-4 draw. They have been very inconsistent throughout this season, but against the top teams Chelsea tend to be more impressive.
The home match against Tottenham has been postponed, because Chelsea and Liverpool will play in the EFL Cup final in the next few days. The final match is important for Klopp and Pochettino, but Liverpool looks like they will be very dominant if they are strengthened by many of their main players. Chelsea has a chance to win the title if several of Liverpool's main players are still injured, while otherwise Liverpool will be the favorites.
Chelsea often play well when facing other big teams, the prestige factor is one of the motivations for Pochettino fleet to appear more impressive than usual. That's right, this week Chelsea will shift their focus to the Carabao Cup final against Liverpool at Wembley. On paper Liverpool really deserve to be favorites, even though currently Klopp is still missing several key players who are still injured.
Pochettino is actually also facing a serious injury situation, where Pochettino is still missing 8 key players. With performance that has never been stable this season, it is difficult for Chelsea to win over Liverpool even though they are both facing a storm of injuries. Looking at the head to head record, Liverpool have never lost to Chelsea in the last five matches.
If Liverpool manage to emerge victorious then it will be a beautiful parting gift for Klopp, which will probably be increased by the EPL and Europa League trophies. Meanwhile, Chelsea also really wants the trophy, because Pochettino doesn't want to end the season fasting for a title. Looking at the backgrounds and ambitions of both teams, I think the final match will be fierce and intense.
