Liverpool have been backed to beat Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final, despite the absence of Roberto Firmino and potentially Diogo Jota.
The Reds take on Chelsea in the final of the League Cup at Wembley Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
Jurgen Klopp’s side go into the game on the back of an emphatic 6-0 win over Leeds United in the Premier League on Wednesday night.
Liverpool won the game without Firmino or Jota, who are both sidelined with respective injuries.

Firmino is almost certain to be ruled out for Sunday’s final, while Jota will still have hopes of proving his fitness in time.
Despite both players being unavailable in recent matches, former Aston Villa striker Gabriel Agbonlahor still believes Liverpool’s forward options are “frightening”.
Agbonlahor went on to argue why he’s backing Liverpool to beat Chelsea and lift the Carabao Cup on Sunday.
“It would be a blow to be without them,” Agbonlahor told Football Insider.
“But now they’ve got the numbers to be able to cope. Mane, Salah and Diaz is a scary front three. That’s just frightening.
“Chelsea will not have much experience of playing against Diaz so that’s going to be a bit of a new one.
“I think Liverpool will win that final, I really do. It’s a good test for a Champions League final, that could easily be the Champions League final this season.
“It’s going to be a fascinating game and I can’t wait to watch it.”
