We predict the Carabao Cup final to end with Chelsea 1-1 Liverpool. The last two times Chelsea and Liverpool met in cup finals, both matches ended in draws, and Liverpool won on penalties. In the last eight meetings between these two teams, seven of them ended in draws. Based on their previous meetings, we believe this match will end in a 1-1 draw in regular time, and Liverpool will win in extra time or penalty shootout.
There’s a chance both teams will score in the Chelsea vs Liverpool Carabao Cup final. Both teams scored in four of their last eight meetings across all competitions. The two times both teams met in the Premier League this season, both teams got on the scoreboard.
Chelsea have endured mixed results this season, and their recent form isn’t good enough to come up against the Premier League leaders, Liverpool, in a cup final. They head into this showdown coming off the back of two wins in their last five matches across all competitions. The Blues held Manchester City to a 1-1 draw last time out, and will hope to replicate the same form against Liverpool.
Liverpool are in fine form, having won four and lost one of their last five matches across all competitions. The last time they faced Chelsea, they won 4-1 at Anfield. This encounter will take place on neutral ground, and Jurgen Klopp’s side will hope they replicate their Anfield form against the Blues, although they won’t be with the likes of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Alisson Becker, and a few more due to injury issues.
