Chelsea – Liverpool, FA Cup – Prediction

– Liverpool have failed to beat Chelsea this season

👍 For Chelsea, this cup can make the season meaningful

I did not expect Chelsea to play with so many starters against Leeds and to win so easily on Wednesday night, considering that only 3 days later comes this final with Liverpool. Kovacic is badly injured and is almost certain not to play against Liverpool. Tuchel has hopes that he will be able to rely on Kante, who has also been injured for some time, but has no other serious injuries, except for Chillwell, who has not played for a long time. For Chelsea, the season was bad especially for what happened to the property, but at least they qualify for the Champions League and now a cup can make sense of the campaign, especially since they have already lost one final – for the League Cup again against Liverpool.

💯 The title seems mission impossible anymore, so FA Cup and Champions League become even more valuable for Liverpool

City clearly have no intention of giving Liverpool the slightest hope that there may be any intrigue for the title in the last rounds, after crushing Newcastle and the Wolves with a total goal difference of 10-1 and now even losing against West Ham or Villa , again for Liverpool it will be difficult to catch up with this goal difference, so in general for the Reds there are 2 main games left until the end of the season and these are the two finals. Before that, the only but major and big problem for Liverpool was the lack of Fabinho, who got hamstring injury against Villa during the week.

⏩ The odds for Chelsea should be lower

I don’t see the logic of such a high odds for Chelsea. So far this season, Liverpool have never won against this team. Apart from the absence of Fabinho, another key factor that can be used against Liverpool is the visible fatigue in the last 1-2 weeks. The team simply did not look like itself in the last two games against Tottenham and Villa, and the cycle of games one after the other every 3 days is deadly, right at the end of the season, when the team is already exhausted and mentally exhausted. At Chelsea at the moment we definitely can not talk about such problems and as distracted by the uncertainty about the future of the club, I expect them to play very hard this game, so I see value in betting Chelsea to win the trophy at 2.62. Here the odds should be at most 2.25 for me.
