Chelsea, meanwhile, want to bring the trophy to compensate for the fans following the team’s external problems beset in the past.
1. Without Fabinho, is it heartbreaking?
That’s really bad news for Liverpool as they are without Fabinho in charge of midfield in the FA Cup final as the player suffered a hamstring injury. That is a very worrying thing. In the fight once morest Chelsea’s strong midfield
It can be seen that throughout this season Brazilian soccer star It is an important key that makes the “Reds” midfield play strong. So their absence of Fabinho in this crucial match is a huge blow and Klopp needs to find a way to seal the loophole or Liverpool will be in serious trouble.
It is possible that the German master Will choose to use Jordan Henderson to replace Fabinho, who has played in a holding midfield role for many games. The latest was a match that defeated Aston Villa in the league game in the middle of this week.
This work, “Hendo”, Thiago Alcantara and Naby Keita have to work together to close the game in the middle of Chelsea because if the trio can break out good form in the match. this time There is a high chance to deal with the aggressive midfield team of “Sing the Blues”.
2. Chelsea is ready to take revenge
Thomas Tuchel’s team must say that almost a full team. With only a chance to win if Mateo Kovacic will be fit in this game or not which if really can’t get down They also have Ruben Loftus-Cheek who can come in as an undisputed replacement. The other person who must win is N’Golo Kante, but is expected to be ready to enter the field in this match.
The Navy Blue Lion Army carries a bag full of grudges. Because they were just traumatized by the loss of sh. “Reds” Liverpool lost the Carabao Cup championship at the end of February.
Performance in the match must be admitted that Chelsea played outstandingly. And there are certain periods where you can press “Reds” until you almost can’t raise your head. But in the end, the decision of the penalty shootout must be mixed with stillness and destiny. Therefore, in this game, believe that the shin “The Navy Blue Lion” hopes to defeat the opponent within 90 minutes.
In this event, if Chelsea’s midfield has both Kante and Kovacic in charge of the game, it must be said that Liverpool are definitely working hard. Because both of them have played once morest “The Reds” in both the League and Carabao Cup games.
3. Mane the bad guy at Chelsea must be careful, Mount is ready to kill.

“Bangmo”, although it is a Premier League goalscorer at this time. by smashing in the league with 22 goals and smashing all items in this season, 30 goals, but lately The players form so hard that in some games Klopp has to drop as a substitute, while Diaz is still dangerous every time the ball is on his feet. It is considered a football player who can change the game for the “Reds” at any time.
However, Mane is a player that Tuchel has urged his players to keep an eye on. Because his record once morest Chelsea was outstanding, with the player scoring six goals when the two teams met since joining the Reds in the 2016/2017 season and Now, no player in the squad will score more goals than him in the Blues’ duel.
However, the top team at Stamford Bridge are also featured in the offensive line, including Mason Mount, Kai Havertz and Romelu Lukaku, who are hottest in the event of Mount. Now, the form is in a lot of pods. Most recently, he scored and assisted in the Leeds qualifiers in midweek, while Lukaku has also scored three goals in his last two games. So this is a trick that Klopp & Co. has to be careful of as well.

Cup, so there’s the FA Cup trophy he hasn’t touched yet. And this time is an important opportunity for the person to be able to do so.
Besides Henderson’s history-making, the match will mark the first duel between two German managers Klopp and Tuchel in the world’s oldest trophy. And if any one wins, it will be the first Deutsche to win this trophy.
5. Win 4 trophies lightly, Chelsea need glory
The story of Liverpool’s success in winning four trophies this season has gradually quietened down a lot. After the game with a draw with Spurs, they are now 3 points behind Manchester City, plus goals scored as inferior as well, most importantly, the “Blues” have a duel with West Ham United this weekend.
