Chelsea will play against Liverpool today, February 27 at the Wembley Stadium in what will be the final of the 2021-2022 Carabao Cup. Here you can find out the confirmed lineups of both teams for this Carabao Cup final game. You can watch it in the US on DAZN if you are in Canada.
Chelsea come from being champions of the Club World Cup, and as if that were not enough, they started the round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League in the best way by beating Lille 2-0, a result that given the difference between both is surely more than enough for the “Blues” to have almost assured their passage to the quarterfinals. They are undoubtedly one of the best teams today.
However, their rivals are not bad at all either. In the game for the first leg of the round of 16 of the Champions League, they won 2-0 as visitors against an always difficult team like Inter. In the Premier League, they are only 3 points behind the leaders, Manchester City, and in their last game in that competition, they convincingly beat Leeds 6-0.
