Paul Merson has warned Chelsea to be careful of Liverpool 'freak' Mohamed Salah when they face him in Saturday's FA Cup final. The Egyptian had a stint with the Blues before leaving the club, having improved and impressed in his time with the Merseyside club.
The former player could have a big say in how the final plays out, with the fixture set to be a rematch of the Carabao Cup final earlier in the year. The two sides couldn't be separated after 120 minutes at Wembley, with penalties settling the game.
Every spot-kick was scored until goalkeeper Kepa Arrizbalaga had to step up, blazing over the bar. Despite the chance for revenge against the Reds, manager Thomas Tuchel has played down such talk: "I don't care about their other titles. We lost, of course, the [Carabao Cup] final. We gave everything in that final as you know, it was a big match that went until the very last penalty.
