When has this happened before? The Clubs that reached the EFL Cup Final in February are the same which will fight for the FA Cup on 15 Mai: It’s Liverpool vs. Chelsea again at Wembley.

Liverpool won the Carabao Cup final on penalties in February but now Chelsea will have the chance for revenge. With a 2-0 win over Crystal Palace, Chelsea have deservedly reached their third successive FA Cup final and will now hope to reverse recent history after losing the previous two to Arsenal and Leicester City.

Chelsea will be formidable opponents for Liverpool, who are in search of a historic quadruple: the Reds have won the League Cup 2021/22, eliminated Benfica in the Champions League quarter-final and are now facing a semi-final against Villareal, they have beat Manchester City 3-2 in Saturday’s FA Cup semi-final 🏆, and they still are in the race for the Premier League 🦁 title, only one point behind Manchester City with a superior goal difference.

But of course Blues manager Thomas Tuchel will have something against, and want to grab at least one of the silverware at stake: “It is time for us to win a final at Wembley,” Tuchel said. “It is five finals I have lost, so we have to put the pressure on us to step up.”
