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.
Although Liverpool is my favorite team in this game, I would prefer Chelsea to win the Carabao Cup this time around. It would be their third appearance in the finals, and if they don't win this time, it will be their third consecutive loss. The last time they reached the finals was against Manchester City, where they lost in a penalty shootout. In the last two years, they faced Liverpool, losing both times in penalty shootouts after goalless draws. So, for me, I would prefer Chelsea to win this time instead of Liverpool.
However, it doesn't end there. Pochettino must implement decisive strategies to help Chelsea win this cup. Currently, Liverpool is in top form and leading the Premier League, so they will give their best to secure the cup. It's crucial for Chelsea to strategize, adapt, and be prepared to make necessary substitutions and changes to secure victory on Sunday afternoon. As spectators, we will watch from the sidelines to see how the game unfolds.
Obviously, I think basically Liverpool is the favored team to win and yes, I think it's not about Chelsea's failure in the last few seasons in this event. Because anyway, even though this time Liverpool are still quite favored but yes, the reality is that Liverpool are still getting a lot of key players injured . So ya, because at this moment there are still many Liverpool key players who are injured, then even though I want Liverpool to win, but it looks like I will hesitate to choose Liverpool in this match because of the factor about the injury.
Therefore, it is difficult for me to decide to choose Chelsea or Liverpool to win in this final match or at least choose with the option of the team that will win the trophy, but it is still a difficult choice for me this time. But maybe, I just choose about the goal option because yes, although sometimes the final match is a match that lacks goals, but I think in this match it is likely to have goals at least both teams to score, who knows.
