I think we will be favourites but anything can happen and it’s been proven many times that Chelsea can put a big performance in when they feel like it.
I think it’ll be closer than many expect. My prediction is Liverpool to win in extra time.
Chelsea always perform well against higher teams but I believe they will not be consistent in a row but this time in the EFL final they have motivation because this title is the only one that can be won and they can force Liverpool to lose but my own hunch is unlikely.
What is clear is that Liverpool will remain the favorite, however I will still doubt Chelsea will win this trophy, I will bet on Liverpool's victory, this could be sacred if Klopp is able to win also this trophy and the last trophy is of course the EPL.
Well, that's what's interesting about Chelsea this season, when they face clubs that are better than them, Chelsea can play well and like the latest thing they did was when they were able to hold Manchester City to a draw which we know Manchester City is one of the strongest clubs in the world. the last few seasons. And when they face clubs that are weaker or have the same level as them, Chelsea actually find it difficult to get positive results. Either because they underestimate their opponents or their motivation doubles when facing a stronger Club.
Now they will face the leaders of the Premier League standings in the League Cup Final, Liverpool. Will they play like they did against Manchester City or better or will they perform poorly? worth the wait. However, for Liverpool themselves, they have to be wary of Chelsea, because Chelsea can provide the same resistance as they did when facing Manchester City.
In my opinion, Chelsea will have very high motivation, because the competition is their chance to get the title this season, because if you look at other competitions (the English League) it is almost impossible for them to get it. So maybe Chelsea will go all out to beat Liverpool in this match. I don't know Liverpool's motivation in this match, because in terms of focus they will definitely focus more on the English League or European League.
