Chelsea vs Liverpool prediction and odds: Mo Salah backed to secure Carabao Cup trophy for Reds

The Carabao Cup final is upon us and Chelsea will be eager to lift their first domestic trophy four years as they face Liverpool at Wembley Stadium.

The Reds are the favourites at 13/10 with Grosvenor Sport while Chelsea are 47/20 and a draw is 9/4.

Jurgen Klopp's side are in their first EFL Cup final in six years and are looking to lift the trophy for the first time in 10 years after seeing off Norwich City, Preston North End, Leicester City and Arsenal in this season's competition.

Meanwhile, The Blues reach their first EFL Cup final in three years and will be looking to lift it for the first time in seven after seeing off Aston Villa, Southampton, Brentford and Tottenham Hotspur.

For Thomas Tuchel, he will personally want to get a trophy with off-the-field struggles involving Romelu Lukaku as well as slipping away from the Premier League title race despite dominating the early stages.
