Predicted Chelsea line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Liverpool, Nkunku starts

Chelsea face off against Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final at the Wembley Stadium this afternoon.

The Blues have had a dreadful league campaign, but have the chance to secure a trophy to please the fans.

Predicted Line-up:

Djordje Petrovic has been in exceptional in goal for the Blues since his debut, making several key saves. The Serbian is assured to start between the sticks in the final.

In defence, there could be a solitary change with Thiago Silva back in the XI after a minor injury. The Brazilian should replace Levi Colwill at the heart of the backline.

Malo Gusto looks primed to start in the right-back role with Ben Chilwell on the other end. Axel Disasi, who was sensational against Manchester City, should partner Silva.

In midfield, it should be a familiar looking set-up with Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez starting in the defensive roles with Conor Gallagher featuring higher up.

Further forward, we fancy Nicolas Jackson to be dropped for Christopher Nkunku to start. Him and Raheem Sterling could play on the right and left wing with Cole Palmer up front.

Predicted Chelsea line-up (4-2-3-1): Petrovic; Gusto, Disasi, Silva, Chilwell; Caicedo, Fernandez, Gallagher; Nkunku, Palmer, Sterling.
