Chelsea and Liverpool will compete in the 2022 Carabao Cup final. The following is the line-up for the two teams.
Less than an hour away, Chelsea vs Liverpool will be held at Wembley Stadium, Sunday (27/2/2022) night WIB. This is the first domestic trophy to be contested in England.
Chelsea, who are looking to marry off the two titles they have won this season, the European Super Cup and the Club World Cup, have lowered their best team line-up.
The position of goalkeeper is surprising. Kepa Arrizabalaga, who has been number one in this event, was instead reserved, to give a place to Edouard Mendy.
Using a 3-4-3 formation, Trevoh Chalobah, Thiago Silva and Antonio Ruediger at the back. Cesar Azpilicueta, N’Golo Kante, Mateo Kovacic and Marcos Alonso in midfield.
The trio of Mason Mount, Kai Havertz and Christian Pulisic up front. Romelu Lukaku and Jorginho are just substitutes.
From Liverpool, Caoimhin Kelleher has retained the position of main goalkeeper in the Carabao Cup this season. Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk, Joel Matip and Andrew Robertson at the back.
Three midfield players were entrusted to Thiago, Jordan Henderson and Fabinho, Diogo Jota was already included in the team but only as a backup, while Roberto Firmino was absent.
Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah, and Luis Diaz in attack. Who do you think will be the champion?
