📊EOTK Stats Pack: Carabao Cup final - Liverpool and Chelsea form guide, what penalty shootout history tells us and MORE

We analyse some of the key stats and info ahead of the Carabao Cup final at Wembley, with Liverpool and Chelsea eyeing up the first domestic silverware of the season!

Just as in 2022, the last Sunday of February sees Liverpool and Chelsea face off in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley to contest the season’s first piece of domestic silverware.

The Reds prevailed via penalties on that occasion, just as they did against the same opposition in the FA Cup showpiece three months later, so there’s a distinct sense of deja vu to this weekend’s showdown in northwest London.

It’s the fourth time in just over a month that Jurgen Klopp’s side have had a fixture in the capital, having booked their place in today’s final with a 1-1 draw at Fulham in late January, before contrasting fortunes away to Arsenal (1-3) and Brentford (4-1) in the Premier League over the past three weeks.

Liverpool laid down an early psychological marker when hammering Chelsea 4-1 at Anfield just 25 days ago, although a spate of injuries to key players have complicated matters for the Merseysiders.

Klopp got the better of Mauricio Pochettino when they last went head-to-head in a major final - the 2019 Champions League decider against Tottenham in Madrid - and the German will hope for a repeat outcome to ensure that his concluding season in charge of the Reds will end with at least one trophy to savour.

Ahead of today’s Wembley showdown, let’s take a look at the form guide for both teams, as well as their head-to-head Carabao Cup record, and delve into their respective fortunes when it comes to penalty shootouts.
