Chelsea and Liverpool meet at Wembley Stadium on February 25 in the Carabao Cup final.
The clash is the first major final on the English football calendar this season with Jurgen Klopp looking to win the title he claimed ahead of Chelsea back in 2022.
Liverpool sealed a dramatic penalty shootout victory in that contest, ahead of later beating the Blues on penalties in the FA Cup final, and Klopp’s charges are still in the running for four possible trophies before the end of the season.
