Wembley Stadium will be buzzing on Sunday afternoon as Chelsea and Liverpool renew their rivalry in the EFL Cup final. Kickoff is at 3 PM UTC, and the atmosphere promises to be electric, with both teams eager to lift the first domestic trophy of the season.
This is a rematch of the 2021-22 EFL Cup final, which Liverpool won on penalties after a dramatic 0-0 draw. The Reds are considered favorites again, despite missing several key players due to injury. Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold remain their main threats, and their experience in big finals could be crucial.
Chelsea, under new manager Graham Potter, are looking to bounce back from a disappointing draw against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League. They'll be relying on the attacking prowess of Raheem Sterling and Mason Mount, and the home crowd support could give them a crucial advantage.

Chelsea: Petrovic. Gusto, Disasi, Colwill, Chilwell. Caicedo, Fernandez. Palmer, Gallagher, Sterling. Jackson
