Carabao Cup final: Liverpool tipped to defeat Chelsea

Former Liverpool star Graeme Souness has tipped Jurgen Klopp’s side to emerge as the winner of the Carabao Cup when they face Chelsea in the final on Sunday.

Speaking on talkSPORT, Souness rated Liverpool’s chances of winning the Carabao Cup at 60 per cent and gave the Blues a 40 per cent chance.

“No. What do you expect me to say? I am a Liverpool supporter,” he said.

“It is not a done deal. Of course, they have a chance. For me, it is a 60/40 game.

“I think Liverpool will win. That is even without the boys who went off injured.”

He added, “They have got an abundance of strikers and even guys that change games when they are not playing well.”

While the Blues would hope to make it their first trophy under manager Mauricio Pochettino, Liverpool will want it to be a parting gift for manager Jurgen Klopp.
