I was at Anfield a few weeks ago, when Liverpool absolutely thrashed Chelsea 4-1. To say it was a demolition does not do it justice.

It was billed then as a dress rehearsal for this final and, when I was thinking about it afterwards, I just thought there is no way you would give the Blues any chance whatsoever based on what happened in that game.

But then you see Chelsea hold Manchester City last weekend, when they almost held on at 1-0 and, with better finishing, had the chances to go further in front.

Liverpool were woeful in the first half against Luton on Wednesday, then wonderful after the break. We will have to wait and see which Liverpool turn up, but the same can obviously be said about Chelsea.

So, the question is whether I am going to end up being hoodwinked by that display against City, or whether the tide really is about to turn for Blues boss Mauricio Pochettino.

I am not convinced that the latter is the case. As I said at the very start, I was tempted to go with Chelsea... but I have talked myself out of it.

Prediction:1-2 after extra-time

Hello!

Liverpool and Chelsea face off at Wembley this afternoon in the first major final of the season, with the Reds bidding for a record-extending 10th League Cup title.

Chelsea, meanwhile, are looking to win their first domestic trophy since 2018, but they know they will need to be better than when they played Liverpool recently. They were thrashed 4-1 at Anfield in January.

It is deja vu as Liverpool and Chelsea lock horns in a major final once again.

The two sides met twice at Wembley in 2022 - in both the Carabao Cup and FA Cup finals.

Liverpool came out on top in both of those games, will they keep their winning run over the Blues going? Or will Mauricio Pochettino's side gain revenge?
