Chelsea vs Liverpool
The FA Cup final is always a hotly contested affair. This year features two teams who have known each other for a long time.
Chelsea have had an up-and-down season. They have been stuttering mightily in recent times, and have a tenable grip on the third spot. Thomas Tuchel has been baffled by his side’s slump in form over the past month. The only silver lining has been that Romelu Lukaku is finally back amongst the goals again. The much-maligned Belgian striker has had a horror return to Stamford Bridge but finally looks to turn over a new leaf.

The Reds sit three points behind Manchester City and the hopes of a quadruple are fading. Nevertheless, the FA Cup still holds an immense amount of prestige, especially since Jurgen Klopp has not won it yet.
