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.
I personally do not think Chelsea is going to win against Liverpool, really. The current performance of Chelsea is pretty bad. And if we compare the current form of Chelsea in the English Premier League, compared to Liverpool they have been really bad. I understand that this is not an English Premier League match. This is the EFL cup. But I don't think it is going to be much different. The outcome should be a win for Liverpool. If it is anything other than that I am going to be surprised, I don't know about other people. If you look at the odds, bookmakers also give favor to Liverpool by offering 2.12 odds, whereas Chelsea's odds is 3.20.

About the coach, personally, I do not trust his capability. At least not against Liverpool. Because with the squad that he has right now, he should be able to bring in better results. But he's not doing that.
