    A chance for the PL title pretenders to strike a consolation blow to the PL title contenders. Thomas Tuchel vs Jurgen Klopp. Here we go.

    Will Salah run riot? Will Lukaku bite back?

    Will @finsfan85 make a rare appearance?

    Tune in at 4:30pm on Sunday to find out!

    Edit: oh, it looks like @finsfan85 is banned, oh well.

    I like the individual thread for a big game.

    A rare game I will be supporting Liverpool and can be happy when they score. Hopefully Mane runs wild and scores a hat-trick, TAA scores a banger and Salah earns a soft penalty in the opening minute.

    5-0 Liverpool please.

    We should win, but anything can happen in a cup final.

    As long as Chelsea don't go a man down, then I'm confident in us winning. With Thiago and Elliott fit, we shouldn't have an issue of breaking down the Chelsea bus if they decide to park it.

    We should have the advantage with the way Chelsea's attack has fallen off a cliff lately.

    Agree with this.

    Edit: except Kelleher will start.

    Yeah Kelleher will start. Not sure Hendo starts for me. Could see Klopp throwing Elliott or Keita in for some reason 🤷‍♂️

    I see Elliott being used in the 2nd half as a super sub to bring on additional pace and trickery to help counter or break Chelsea down. Though Elliott starting allows us to bring on Hendo for 30mins or so to control the midfield to avoid a late goal or upset.

    Funny to see the optimism here when both of our previous matches this season have ended in draws :joy:

    You went down to 10 and parked the bus in one, and the other was a mish mash 11 from both teams.

    This game should be very different.

    I don't think it's going to be an easy victory for us but your attack lately has looked beyond pitiful. I think we are very much favorites if we consider recent form but I'm not expecting anything more than 1-0, 2-1, I don't see us going to pens.

    As a Chelsea fan,I have to hold myself to saying something after the disrespect in this thread.
    I'm definitely marking this.
    City fans make the same mistake last year.
    Can't wait.

    still think Liv are fav but..
    Lets agree .. Finals are won by defenders not attackers so Chelsea attack shouldnt be the thing that put you ahead

    You guys (Liverpool) definitely have the form going into this one, but it's a final and form means nothing.

    Expecting a tight game, but I think we'll pull it off. Our goal won't be pretty, but I'm going for a 1-0 Chelsea win.

    I very much agree but our defenders shouldn't have much of an issue mopping up with Chelsea's recent attacking form. Regardless, Chelsea will most likely turn up during the final, that's why I'm not expecting an easy match.

    Accepted Liverpool might be slight favourites but I don't think you guys can be this confident against a side that has lost only one game since 8th Dec (and that too against City)

    Cup games are our specialty, we know how to defend, and our attackers flourish against (counter) attacking sides. I would say it's 55-45 in Liverpool's favour

    calling yourself favourites against the World champions while being trophy-less :joy:

    You just said so yourself that we are slight favorites and I've mentioned a couple of times how it's not going to be an easy match.

    When it's Alonso vs Salah then you are big favourites.

    You guys always act like Alonso is a huge liability but this man always finds a way to score or assist a goal it seems. Just play him as a striker and your curse will probably be lifted.

    Who'd bet on Alonso hitting the winner though, would be so typical :D

    He's your best attacking option, so if any goal is scored, it's most likely a contribution from him.
