Liverpool and Chelsea will face off in the 141st FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium, as the two sides meet for the second time this season, this time with a trophy on the line.
The FA Cup is the only domestic trophy left on the table for the London club this season, and neighboring capital club Crystal Palace was no match for the Blues’ dominance in the semi-finals.
Meanwhile, Liverpool beat Manchester City in one of their many dominating clashes to reach the main event, and the thought of a four-trophies haul lingers in the minds of the traveling Merseyside fans.
Liverpool, on the other hand, will be in no mood to give up the chance to complete a domestic cup double for the first time since the 2000-01 season, and even if the tie goes to penalties as it did in 2006, Klopp’s team has Chelsea’s number.
Chelsea can relax a little more knowing that they will almost certainly finish in the top four of the Premier League, and closing the season with another FA Cup in the glass case would be a definite way for Tuchel to get on the good side of the new owners right away.

Team News
With so much on the line after Saturday’s final, Klopp is unlikely to risk Fabinho if he isn’t fully healthy, but he should be Liverpool’s lone absentee.
Despite Caoimhin Kelleher’s EFL Cup exploits, Klopp will almost certainly hand Alisson Becker the gloves for the FA Cup final, where Andy Robertson will return after a midweek layoff.
Score Predictions
A bunch of heated moments and flying tackles are well-expected o Saturday evening but the Reds improvised attacking unit will be too heavy for the team in Blue and therefore Liverpool will grab their first FA Cup trophy under Klopp’s regime
Liverpool 2-1 Chelsea
