Liverpool are chasing four trophies this season and are looking to lift their first on Sunday when they play Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final – but how much will the Reds be weakened by injuries?
BBC Sport football expert Chris Sutton raised concerns about Liverpool’s injury situation, noting that the team that beat Luton on Wednesday had five changes from the side that beat Chelsea on 31 January. With doubts over the fitness of key players, including Mohamed Salah, Sutton questioned whether Liverpool’s big guns will be ready for the final showdown.
In contrast, Chelsea managed to hold Manchester City to a draw last weekend, showcasing their resilience and potential threat to Liverpool. The Blues will be looking to avenge their 4-1 defeat to Liverpool a few weeks ago and Mauricio Pochettino will be hoping to turn the tide in his favor.
Sutton ultimately predicted a 1-2 victory for Liverpool after extra time in the Carabao Cup final, highlighting the uncertainty surrounding both teams’ form and fitness heading into the crucial match.
As the anticipation builds for Sunday’s clash, football fans are eagerly awaiting to see if Liverpool can overcome their injury woes and secure their first trophy of the season. Stay tuned for what promises to be an exciting final showdown between two top Premier League clubs.
