Chelsea FC vs Liverpool: Prediction, kick off time, TV, live stream, available players,team news - FA Cup final
The FA Cup final will be a rematch of the Carabao Cup for only the second time.
While it may not appear to be a particularly exciting idea on paper, the manner in which Chelsea and Liverpool battled in Wembley's thrilling February final does whet the appetite.
A 0-0 has rarely been so exciting, and even in the Premier League, there hasn't been much to separate the two teams all season.
The FA Cup final is set to begin at 4.45pm BST on Saturday, May 14, 2022.
Wembley Stadium in London will host the event.
Despite Liverpool's comfortable lead over Chelsea in the table, both meetings in that competition have ended 2-2.
Although Jurgen Klopp's attempts to catch Manchester City have recently suffered setbacks, in recent days, The German still has a chance to win all three cup competitions this season, and the fact that he has already defeated Chelsea in a knockout match cannot be overlooked.
Nonetheless, Thomas Tuchel's team is a master of this style of football. Chelsea have reached the final of every competition during his tenure, and it's worth noting that despite a patchy league record, they beat City in the Champions League final.

Tuchel's first-choice midfield three now includes only Jorginho, with Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Saul Niguez as senior options.
Meanwhile, Liverpool saw Fabinho limp off during their win over Aston Villa on Tuesday, and Klopp has since ruled the Brazilian out of action.
Andy Robertson was rested, and Mohamed Salah came on as a substitute. Both are almost certain to begin.
