In 2022, the two teams faced off in two separate domestic cup finals, with the Reds emerging winners both times following penalty shootouts.

Mauricio Pochettino, the manager of the Blues, will be driven to win this time around and raise his first English football trophy as a result.

Nonetheless, Liverpool will enter the match as clear favorites since manager Jurgen Klopp wants to win one more championship before leaving the team this summer.

Meanwhile, it seems possible that Chelsea will let go of one of their most costly players this summer.

Mykhaylo Mudryk, a winger, may not have a clear future coming into the summer transfer market, according to Football Insider.Chelseа signed the Ukrаine internаtiоnаl in Jаnuаry оf lаst yeаr fоr аn initiаl sum оf £62 milliоn, with the pоssibility оf аn increаse tо £88 milliоn if certаin requirements аre cоmpleted. The plаyer wаs fоrmerly with Shаkhtаr Dоnetsk, his bоyhооd club.

However, Mudryk has underperformed since moving to London, making just four goals in 42 games across all competitions.

Given that Mudryk, 22, had only made 44 senior appearances for Shakhtar, the price Chelsea paid for him when he joined the team sparked many questions.

The Ukrainian signed a long-term contract with the London team that is scheduled to expire in 2031, but according to the report, Pochettino and his staff don’t think the player “has the footballing brain” to succeed in their tactical setup.

According to reports, the player has not yet persuaded his manager of his skills and appropriateness. As a result, when the transfer window reopens this summer, the club’s management may decide to move the youngster.

German champions Bayern Munich expressed interest in the winger during the most recent January transfer window, but Chelsea decided against allowing the player to depart.
