Chelsea's centre-back Thiago Silva has been branded 'very clever' after what he did during a period of Liverpool domination in the FA Cup final at Wembley. There was nothing to separate the two sides for most of the game, and the 37-year-old should take credit for it remaining like that, according to Joe Cole and Robbie Fowler.
Both teams came into this clash with plenty of history to make going into this one. For Jurgen Klopp, the incentive of a historic quadruple loomed large while Thomas Tuchel was looking to put two Wembley defeats behind him.
These two sides competed for the Carabao Cup back in February, with Liverpool claiming the glory after a lengthy penalty shootout. Leicester got the better of Chelsea in the FA Cup final of 2021, too, and the Blues boss will have been desperate to put those defeats to bed and claim the fourth trophy of his spell as manager.
