Chelsea will be looking for some EFL Cup revenge against Liverpool. The Reds beat the Blues in the final of this competition in both 2022 and 2024. In the former, 21 penalties were scored, before Kepa Arrizabalaga skied his attempt high into the Wembley night sky, before Jürgen Klopp's team overcame Mauricio Pochettino's team after extra time two and a half years ago.
However, Chelsea fans will have fond memories of their last League Cup clash away from Wembley. Back in 2018, Maurizio Sarri's side won 2-1 on Merseyside in the third round, Eden Hazard scoring a jaw dropping solo goal, en route to that year's final. Given that this competition might be more important to the Blues than their hosts, Chelsea will fancy their chances of victory again.
How can I watch Liverpool vs Chelsea in the Carabao Cup?
In the United Kingdom and Ireland, all 92 Carabao Cup fixtures are broadcast live by Sky Sports across their various channels. Meantime, terrestrial channel ITV also showcase, at least, one match per round free-to-air. We suspect this heavyweight clash will be the one on ITV.
