178 Liverpool face Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final this weekend.
The Reds head into this game as heavy favourites after a fantastic run of form, while Chelsea have been faltering all season long.
However, in a cup final you can never quite call what is going to happen. After all, we’ve seen many an upset in this competition over the years.
Speaking on The RedMen TV, Jamie Carragher has been previewing this game, and he’s had a go at predicting how this one will go.
Predictably, Carragher has tipped his former team to win the final on Sunday, claiming that he expects Liverpool to win 2-1 in normal time.
Jamie Carragher predicts Liverpool vs Chelsea
The pundit shared his verdict on how this game will go.
“What’s your score prediction for the Carabao?” Carragher was asked.
“I’ll go with 2-1 to Liverpool. I think it will be tight,” Carragher said.
“Extra time?” Carragher was asked.
“No, I’ll go for us, I don’t care, just win it. It won’t be like Anfield, they should be better and the pitch is a lot better, it will be more difficult to press than it is at Anfield because the pitch is tighter,” Carragher said.
Could be tight
Carragher is right, this one could be very tight.
Let’s not forget, these two sides have played in two cup finals in recent years, and both of those went to penalties after 0-0 draws.
Of course, plenty has changed at both Anfield and Stamford Bridge since then, so Liverpool will be fancying their chances of getting the job done here, but as Chelsea showed against Manchester City at the weekend, on their day, they can still give any team a real run for their money.
Regardless of what score this one ends up, this should be an intriguing battle between two teams who will be desperate to add more silverware to their collection.
