If only Reece was fully fit, he would be starting 

Apparently James has been fit for a weeks but caught 'flu which held him back...he's been a monster in training this week, so I was a bit surprised he wasn't starting...not a fan of Dave as RWB...

I bet there will be a substantial difference in class in the way Kepa handles being dropped compared to how Lukaku does.

I did not see that as wasn't keeping up.  Hopefully progressing then, just not quite ready. 

Win or lose today this Final is for Roman he’s gonna be watching from somewhere on the planet and regardless of form and who couldn’t make the squad hope Chelsea win it for him, us lot and the football world, F the Bindippers come on Chelsea! 

This is the eighth time Chelsea and Liverpool have met in the League Cup. Liverpool have only won one of the last five.

We’ll probably Alonso is instructed not to go pass the midfield line, at least I hope that is the case.

Don't hold your breath...likely Rudiger will come across and bail him out as usual.

This is the least nervous I've been for a final, with all that's been going on, it just feels like it doesn't matter so much. Maybe because it's also just the League Cup

At Wembley and fans are fire it. Yes, war is sh*t, but we ve got nothing to do with it as a club and Chelsea supporters don’t feel linked to the sh*t. Let’s hope the players feel the same way, cause we’re up for it!!

I also just saved a family of scousers from getting right into the Chelsea Wembley area. They looked shocked at the “in the Liverpool slums” song and I told them where to go, the other way. My good action of the day, hopefully gets me a win today!

Not gonna pretend super confident going into this match, but then am reminded we've gone toe to toe with them two times in the league this season already and held them to draws in competitive games twice - hope the team give it their all in this third encounter this season and surprise them and we grab a win and lift another trophy today!

 

Thiago injured in the warmup!

 

 

their thiago... will be replaced by naby keita..

Confident only because it's a final. 

COME ON CHELSEA !  💙🏆

Maria looking rather sad.....😪  feel so bad for her

The sign language is a bit extra 

Tiago crying for the cameras.. 

Man Alsonso is so slow....

Mount had a chance to play that early there.

Come on you Blues! Lets focus on the football for the next couple of hours.

FFS !!! what a miss

The last domestic final Liverpool were in was in 1865 so he knows this is a once in a lifetime thing
