Chelsea vs Liverpool – Carabao Cup final: Live score, team news and updates as injury-ravaged Reds take on Mauricio Pochettino’s men with season’s first silverware on the line 

What a scintilating match-up we have on our hands today as Liverpool and Chelsea battle it out for the first trophy of the season.

The Reds are looking to get the long farewell to Jurgen Klopp off to the best possible start ahead of his departure in the summer.

They are enjoying a fine campaign and also remain in the running for the Premier League, FA Cup and Europa League.

Meanwhile, Chelsea have had a mixed and chaotic campaign, but recent games suggest they’re starting to turn the corner.

While victory today wouldn’t justify the £1billion transfer spend since Todd Boehly took over the club in May 2022, it feels like it could be a pivotal moment in Mauricio Pochettino’s tenure at the club.
