Thomas Tuchel and his Chelsea side will be hoping to end their season on a high note on Saturday when the Blues face Liverpool in the FA Cup final at Wembley. The match is a repeat of the Carabao Cup final earlier this year, where the Reds edged the encounter on penalties.
In a game of fine margins, neither team could take the initiative, but it was Jurgen Klopp who walked away with the first of potentially four trophies this season. Compare that to his opposite number who, albeit has a Club World Cup to show for his efforts, Tuchel has otherwise seen his side come so close this campaign with little to display for it.
Despite the chance in the final, the German head coach hasn’t declared the game a must-win encounter, saying in his pre-match press conference: “First of all, we have a chance to win something domestically – and we have been to the Carabao Cup final. We have won European trophies and World trophies. There are worse seasons out there. A lot of teams have had a worse season than our season.
