FA Cup Final Preview
Liverpool and Chelsea meet for the 141st FA Cup final on Saturday in what is expected to be a high-octane rollercoaster of a fixture in the late spring sunshine.
Jurgen Klopp and his side have enjoyed a special season, and securing another piece of silverware would see them reach the halfway point on their quest for a quadruple.
While knocking Manchester City off their perch seems like a tall order, winning another trophy would provide a massive boost going into the remaining league fixtures, as well as the Champions League final at the end of the month.
Meanwhile, Chelsea have struggled to find the consistency that we saw at the start of the season, which sees them hanging on to their thought-to-be-safe third spot in the Premier League table.
The Blues have just one victory in their previous four fixtures, which a less than favourable run of form to be taking into a fixture of this magnitude. Despite this, an FA Cup final at Wembley presents an entirely different prospect, and Thomas Tuchel will be out to rectify his side’s defeat to Leicester in last year’s final.
Liverpool Stats
- This weekend will see Liverpool back in an FA Cup final for the first time since the 2011-12 season, where they lost out to this year’s opponents Chelsea.
- Liverpool could win their first FA Cup in 16 years – that day they prevailed against West Ham after an incredible Steven Gerard-inspired comeback.
- The Reds have won the FA Cup a total of seven times – one less than Tottenham and Chelsea and level with Aston Villa.
- Jurgen Klopp’s side have been imperious this season, losing just three times – the last of which coming all the way back in March against Inter Milan.
Chelsea Stats
- Chelsea are fourth on the all-time FA Cup winners list with eight trophies.
- The Blues have featured in three of the last five finals, losing on all three occasions – their last FA Cup win came against this year’s opponents in the 2011-12 season.
- Thomas Tuchel can secure his fourth trophy as Chelsea manager since taking over last season.
- Chelsea will be out for revenge having lost the Carabao Cup final back in February, with goalkeeper Kepa blazing a penalty high over the bar to hand Liverpool the win.
