Confirmed Lineups: Liverpool vs. Chelsea (Carabao Cup)

Chelsea V Liverpool Carabao Cup Final

Liverpool had a pair of regulars return to the lineup with Andy Robertson and Ibrahima Konaté, for the Carabao Cup Final vs. Chelsea, but the injury list is still a lengthy one. Luis Díaz and Harvey Elliott among others, will have to continue to carry the scoring load as they did vs. Luton as there is a lack of proven goal-scorers coming off of the bench.

Liverpool and Chelsea have a history of going past the 90 minutes in Cup Ties so that depth could play a major factor in the outcome of this one. Unfortunately, Chelsea have some big names on the bench. Liverpool do not, but the Reds will be motivated to lift a trophy for their outgoing gaffer. We will see how it plays out.
