The FA Cup has reached its end as Chelsea face Liverpool at Wembley in the final. Both sides have had contrasting seasons of their own with Liverpool still in the shout for the quadruple while Chelsea’s season has been relatively disappointing and interrupted by multiple off-field issues.
Can Chelsea end Liverpool’s dream of a quadruple?
How Should Chelsea Play Against Liverpool?
It will take the right tactics from not only Tuchel but also the correct execution from his players to get a result against Liverpool.
However, Chelsea do have the type of players who have the skillset to trouble this Liverpool side. Liverpool’s pressing is set up in a way that forces the opposition to play central passes to their midfielders. As soon as the ball enters the midfield, Liverpool’s midfield wins it back and they transition into attack quickly.
This kind of pressing can be cracked if the opposition has players who are excellent in tight spaces. This is where Chelsea’s midfield could make a difference today. Mason Mount and Mateo Kovacic are two exceptional players when it comes to beating press and dribbling out of tight spaces.
Getting the ball to these two at the right time could create confusion for Liverpool’s marking system and Chelsea could bypass Liverpool’s midfield and get the ball into the final third. Of course, it will be difficult to execute this tactic because Liverpool’s Gegenpressing is relentless. However, if Chelsea execute this well enough, they could hurt Liverpool in the final tonight.
Who Will Win The Match In Chelsea vs Liverpool?
Liverpool are not only the better of the two sides but are also coming into this game with much better momentum. There is an aura of invincibility surrounding Liverpool this year and the consistency in their performances speaks for itself.
Chelsea have the quality in their squad to beat anyone on their day but the balance is not as strong as it was last season.
Jurgen Klopp and his players will be keen on keeping the quadruple alive and if Liverpool play at their best, Chelsea will have a hard time dealing with it.
The game is evenly balanced, and could go either way especially considering how the Carabao Cup final went to penalties with Liverpool winning in a dramatic shootout.
Liverpool are favourites, but Chelsea could cause an upset tonight.
Will There Be 3 Or More Goals In Chelsea vs Liverpool?
Under Tuchel, Chelsea have made themselves known as a solid defensive side. However, this season they have been leaking a lot of goals. Liverpool have had a great season defensively. Their offside trap is a risky yet effective tactic that has been a key weapon for them this season.
Liverpool are scoring a lot of goals but aren’t conceding so many. This game against Chelsea has a high possibility of finishing with a scoreline of 2-1. However, it could also be a narrow 1-0 win for either side. There is a likelihood of this game witnessing 3 or more goals tonight.
Will Liverpool Score A Goal In The First 45 Minutes Against Chelsea?
Liverpool are an intense side who start the game with relentless pressing. Their aim is to dominate the opponent in the final third and get an early goal which helps them in controlling the rest of the match.
However, this is not always successful and strong sides contain Liverpool in that spell and keep the score at 0-0. Chelsea’s defence is more than good enough to keep Liverpool at bay for a much longer time. However, if Chelsea play a high pressing game themselves, they would play in Liverpool’s hands by leaving gaps all over the pitch.
Overall, the higher possibility does seem to be on Liverpool’s side here as they generally get a goal or two in the first half.
