Chelsea have received a major boost in their FA Cup chances as midfield duo Mateo Kovacic and N’Golo Kante managed to travel with the squad to Wembley for the FA Cup final this weekend. It comes ahead of a huge match against Liverpool, where the duo have been doubts due to injury.
Their presence could be crucial for the Blues, who are looking to enact revenge on the Reds after their Carabao Cup final loss on penalties earlier this year. The two clubs have been on slightly different paths since, with Thomas Tuchel ’s men struggling to find consistency, while Jurgen Klopp’s side are chasing an unlikely quadruple.
The Chelsea manager can play a big part in denying those hopes, claiming his side will have to be “spot on” to win the game: “We always need our very highest level to compete, but we found it in the matches. I don't expect crazy new things from them [Liverpool] and also from us. The game is on tomorrow. A big final, big competition. We want to be spot on."
