Petr Cech played 5,655 minutes that season, while Branislav Ivanovic managed 4,991 – and still had enough in the tank to score the winner against Benfica in the Europa League final. Never mind Eurovision, Chelsea fans can enjoy double vision over the next few days. Despite being the nominal home team at Wembley, Chelsea will wear the yellow kit for the 12th time this season. When Chelsea won the FIFA Club World Cup, it was the third cup in 229 days to be won under Thomas Tuchel, the second quickest time to such a haul by any Blues coach after Gianluca Vialli’s 153-day spree in 1998. Chelsea have visited the new Wembley stadium three times more than Liverpool, although both clubs will be making their 41st appearance at all incarnations of the national stadium as a neutral venue this weekend. The Senegalese, remember, was thwarted by a sensational double save from his international teammate Edou Mendy in the Carabao Cup final. The Chelsea Women stars earned their stripes by clinching the Women’s Super League again last weekend. Injury ruled the Scot out of the Conti Cup final, which the Mancunians won 3-1. In fact it was the perfect night but for Dan James’ red-card tackle, one straight out of the brutal 1970 final playbook. From being out of the side, Romelu Lukaku can take considerable momentum to Wembley, linking well with deeper-lying forwards Mason Mount and Christian Pulisic, dominating centre-backs and notching three times in two games. Chelsea will be out to make sure Saturday is third time lucky. Last night’s north London derby result, which went the way of Tottenham, means one more league win will confirm third place and Champions League football next season Stamford Bridge. One point should be enough for fourth given our goal difference.

Naby Keita has shaken off a knock to take part in training ahead of Saturday's clash with Chelsea.

Reds the world over will hope that changes on Saturday. While the 27-year-old has managed four goals and three assists in his 36 outings this season in all competitions—the most appearances of his five seasons as a Red—he has had no goal involvements in England’s foremost cup competition to this point. It was his 47th appearance of the season in the 2-1 league win over Aston Villa.

Chelsea take on Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool in the FA Cup final at Wembley tomorrow and will be looking to claim trophy for the first time since 2018.

It's a big achievement to be in the finals and there has to be a loser in these finals. It's his right and we will talk to anybody and evaluate the situation of any player including Romelu. So we stepped in and bought the tickets for them. He is keen t make it and hopefully he makes it to training 100%. There is a special momentum you have to catch and a bit of luck. It was a reduced training session because of a long travel and fatigue of travelling. It feels big to me to arrive at the stadium tomorrow, but yeah you have apoint that if it's the only game at the weekend, it maybe has more attention. But to shoot tomorrow after 120 minutes of intense fight and in a full stadium, it's a different story. We have a chance to win something tomorrow domestic. Tuchel and his players will hope it’s a case of third-time lucky, although Liverpool will not be easy to overcome. A set-piece, a shot deflecting in off the post, who gets the lead first, whatever. N’Golo Kante is also a doubt despite the Frenchman returning to training yesterday.

They have clinched their fourth Continental Cup - at the expense of Chelsea - and secured Champions League football for the new term. A quite improbable feat at ...

Their tallies don't yet match, but the Blues are beginning to position themselves as the powerhouse of women's football in England. This group will want to win it and if they do, it will cement them as the best team in England right now." This is just a final game of the season. The crescendo at Wembley Stadium this Sunday will therefore be telling. "I haven't seen a team cause Chelsea as many problems as Man City did in that final for a long time. That's what won them last year's FA Cup," the former Chelsea midfielder continued. In this instance, form across the entire season is a problematic gauge. The cost of a string of disappointing results. Chelsea are resilient; in stressful moments they don't panic, they problem solve, they get out of sticky situations. "City are unbeaten since early February - their goals for are pretty spectacular in this period. The Sky Blues have had a taste of silverware already this season, with that game itself presenting an interesting juncture. Chelsea are, of course, not unfamiliar to cup success themselves.

Paul Merson has made his prediction for this weekend's FA Cup final as Chelsea go head-to-head with Liverpool at Wembley.

‘When I first thought about this game, I was inkling towards a draw, but I fancy Chelsea to win it 2-1 as Fabinho’s absence swings the game in the Blues’ favor. Timo Werner can cause a lot of problems with his pace and directness, while Romelu Lukaku has been back amongst the goals in recent weeks and looks a different player now. ‘In recent weeks, both teams have looked a bit tired and open at the back.

Jurgen Klopp's side can complete a 2022 cup final double over Chelsea at Wembley on Saturday evening.

Betfred make Liverpool a shade of odds-against (21/20) to do just that, with Chelsea 11/4 outsiders to lift the trophy in regulation time. Sure, they dispatched Leeds with the minimum of fuss but that was only their second win in six games and the feeling remains that their season is petering out. If they can get anywhere near that level of form against Chelsea then the Blues won't be able to keep them at bay.

Chelsea will rock back the years ahead of the FA Cup final bout with Liverpool, and - for the superstitious - Thomas Tuchel has been gifted an early boost.

"There are not a lot of bigger games to be part of and it's why we are grateful and we will be well prepared. It will not give us the Carabao Cup title back but we are here and were here last season in the FA Cup final and that means an unbelievable lot to us." "We lost, of course, the final.

The former Borussia Dortmund coach has secured silverware five times during his time in England, and Liverpool are locked in a Premier League title race with ...

In between, West Brom won at Anfield to end Liverpool's hopes in 2017-18. The club last reached the FA Cup final in 2011-12, losing 2-1 to Chelsea at Wembley. All the more incentive, then, for Klopp to win the trophy for the first time when the teams meet again this time around. When Jurgen Klopp leads Liverpool in the FA Cup final against Chelsea, the Reds boss will be aiming to add to the haul of trophies he has won since arriving at Anfield in October 2015.

The Blues will be attempting to avoid a third straight final defeat following their losses against Leicester last year and Arsenal 12 months earlier.

It is one of the biggest cups in Europe. The oldest cup in England. “The five years before Chelsea the last year was always going up, I never had so many problems in terms of scoring as I’ve had in the last year,” he said. Chelsea won the Champions League last year which ensured it was a good season. “But I think the FA Cup Final is a bit similar to the Champions League Final last year. While he can look down and serious on the pitch, he says: “it’s hard to run onto the pitch with a smile. Germany star Werner is also very different off the pitch to what he looks like on it.

So even though Chelsea are current world champions, Liverpool have a stronger case to be the best team on the planet, and indeed in the solar system. Thomas Tuchel needs to make a call on the fitness of N’Golo Kante and Mateo Kovacic, neither of whom are 100 per cent fit. (That lot on Neptune are still playing the W-M formation FFS.) The recent form of both clubs makes them odds-on favourites today, though Chelsea looked a lot perkier when they dismantled Leeds in the week. One of those was a 2-1 victory over Liverpool a decade ago, when Petr Cech made one of the great FA Cup final saves. This is the 150th FA Cup final; none of the previous 149 have involved one recent world champion, never mind two. Then, on 17 May 1997, they beat Middlesbrough in the FA Cup final to win their first major honour in 26 years.

Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp said his squad was not deep enough to challenge for multiple trophies earlier in his reign as they look to end a long FA Cup ...

We didn't 'beat' Chelsea. We won the shootout," he added. "They are cup specialists... "It's our first FA Cup final and we are really, really desperate to win it, but we know our opponents are as well," Klopp said of Chelsea, who Liverpool overcame on penalties in the League Cup final.

Thomas Tuchel enters the 2021-22 FA Cup final against Liverpool knowing that Chelsea will end their season without a domestic trophy if they do not triumph ...

Leicester scored with their only shot on target — a spectacular long-range effort from Tielemans — to win last season's final after Chelsea had far more of the possession and attempts. After a 2-2 draw against Leeds United when their opponents had twice been ahead at Wembley, a replay at Old Trafford was settled by David Webb's goal in a 2-1 win after extra time. So what does Tuchel's track record in the FA Cup tell us about Chelsea's chances of victory at Wembley? Two weeks before the ecstasy of winning the Champions League, Chelsea underperformed in a 1-0 defeat to Leicester City in the FA Cup final in May 2021, when Youri Tielemans' second-half strike made the difference. In his first season in the competition, Tuchel then won three games to take Chelsea to the final, including a 1-0 win over Man City in the semifinal at Wembley. A dramatically late Champions League quarterfinal exit to Real Madrid and an EFL Cup final shootout defeat to the Reds in February means the FA Cup is the only English trophy left for Chelsea to win before the season ends.

Chelsea head to Wembley for another FA Cup final, their third in as many seasons, but they will be hoping for a change of fortune. Defeats against Arsenal and ...

In my opinion it is good to have a certain routine for the players. If it is a weekend only with the cup final and maybe the cup final for the women, there would be even more attention. “I think it can be anything, a shot from the post and deflected on the post out or the post in. For me it is not a distraction and hopefully for everybody that works on the team and the team itself it is not.” It’s very likely that it is one of the two but we will not give the line-up today. We will do everything to be happy with ourselves and that we leave everything out there on the pitch. Normally the club would buy these tickets to provide it for the players’ parents of the academy so we stepped in and bought the tickets for them.” We will evaluate any situation of any player including Romelu. We will see what is going to happen and what the plans are.” “*laughs* I think if he plans to talk with the owner it is not his plan to talk with me! That’s what it is sometimes in football, the attention is so high that sometimes it attracts situations that you don’t want to have before big matches. We always need our very highest level to compete but we found it in the matches. We will try in two and a half hours in training and we will know more about it.

A look back at our updates ahead of the FA Cup finals, the Championship playoffs and the penultimate weekend of the Premier League.

Such is the convolution of the calendar that the men’s FA Cup final is being played with two matches of the Premier League to be played by most teams, while the women’s final - rightfully being played after the WSL season - is being played amid some vital men’s Premier League football. I still feel we have a long way to go in that respect, but the training ground work is what I love and that’s what we’ll really be focusing on for pre-season. They had to give everything in the Women’s Super League right up to the final moment to ensure they won a third successive title. I always believed in the players - and that was regardless of the transfer window - I always believed that we could stay in the division. “For me that moment changed my life, changed the club and everything,” said Aguero after seeing the statue for the first time. And look, sometimes it goes your way, sometimes it doesn’t, but the most important thing is that I do everything this week so that I know that I’ve done everything in my power to perform on the day.” This was a little bit early for me but I’m from the era where Cup Final Knockout was part of the build-up. And then of course on the pitch, I have to make an impact. “The most important thing is being absolutely ready to go to Bramall Lane. We’ve got to thrive on it and not be fearful of it. That’s what it is sometimes in football, the attention is so high that sometimes it attracts situations that you don’t want to have before big matches. “What we’re trying to do is really embrace that amazing era of the club, and create positive futures as well. No player has had a direct hand in more FA Cup goals this season than Chelsea’s Timo Werner (two goals, three assists), which is also the outright most of any player for the two sides in the final.

Like the 2001 final, Liverpool looked down and out, until up stepped one man. They were dominant from start to finish, but that didn't matter when Liverpool had one of the best youngsters in footballing history, Michael Owen. Arsenal had the game in control at 1-0 up, until Owen shocked the entire stadium with a late double. It was Ian Rush then who put Liverpool's name back on the trophy, after scoring his fifth goal in an FA Cup final, which is still the record. LFCTR take a look at the five most memorable moments for Liverpool in England's most famous cup competition. A magnificent flick and pirouette showed all the signs of a showboat reel on Soccer AM if it was in the right net that is.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said he had turned down Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich "a few times" to stay at Anfield.

"When I say 'Enjoy the journey,' I mean it. "If we are only happy when we are winning in the end, whenever your race finishes, what life would that be?" Asked about the challenges the side face, Klopp told reporters at Liverpool's training ground on Friday: "Which club should I go to, to have a different situation?

Liverpool and Chelsea clash at Wembley on Saturday with a rich history of Cup success in today's changing landscape.

For all this, and for all the Cardiff heroics of Michael Owen in 2001 and Steven Gerrard in 2006, Liverpool have not won the Cup at Wembley for 30 years. Those seven wins between 1997 and 2018 – achieved under seven managers – feel somehow pivotal to the mythology of the modern Chelsea, the idea that there is no club in England better at lifting itself for the one-off occasion. But nor is it the sort of thing you put on the side of a bus. For Jürgen Klopp and his formidable Liverpool team, the FA Cup represents a sort of final frontier, a destination as well as a part of the wider journey. At its best the FA Cup is not simply a time capsule or historical re-enactment. One of the greatest misconceptions about the FA Cup over the years is that it has failed to move with the times.

Thomas Tuchel is keen to avenge Chelse's Carabao Cup misery ahead in the Blues' FA Cup final clash with Liverpool.

Chelsea have fallen at the last hurdle in each of their previous two attempts in the competition, losing to Arsenal and Leicester City - weirdly enough, from the away dressing room. It will not give us the Carabao Cup title back, but we are here and were here last season in the FA Cup final, and that means an unbelievable lot to us." According to The FA, the west Londoners have only ever lost one FA Cup final when awarded the home dressing room, winning six from seven - the defeat came last year when Leicester City beat Chelsea 1-0.

The expansion of the competition to allow more non-league teams into the first round, and the relaxation of the offside rule in 1925, led to a burst of goals. In women’s football inequality is more acute. But leading clubs often treat FA Cup matches as a chance to give younger or second-choice players some game time, so the scores understate the divide. Teams from higher divisions had a greater number of minnows to batter, and their attacking firepower was less restrained. Before that stage hundreds of games are played in preliminary rounds.) The next five decades were less bountiful: there were 15% fewer goals per game between 1970 and 2019, and just 11 featured ten or more.

The next step in Liverpool's quest for an unlikely quadruple of trophies is the FA Cup final on Saturday against Chelsea.

In the penultimate round of the league, the race for second place and an automatic Champions League spot is between Marseille and Monaco. Although second-placed Marseille holds a three-point lead over third-placed Monaco, it faces a tougher-looking trip to Rennes, which is battling with Nice to finish in fourth and the Europa League entry place. Freiburg could yet squeeze into the Champions League with a win at already-qualified Bayer Leverkusen – if Leipzig loses in Bielefeld. Union Berlin can clinch its place in the Europa League with a win at home over Bochum, but Cologne can capitalize on any Union slip-up by beating Stuttgart – which is fighting for survival. Bielefeld is the favorite to join already relegated Greuther Fürth in the second division, but it still has a chance of survival if it beats visiting Leipzig, which needs a point to reach the Champions League. Stuttgart, in the relegation playoff spot, could yet escape and leave Hertha in its place with a win over visiting Cologne if Hertha loses at Borussia Dortmund. Hertha just needs a draw to clinch survival. The next step in Liverpool’s quest for an unlikely quadruple of trophies is the FA Cup final against Chelsea. Jürgen Klopp’s side is looking to repeat the League Cup final triumph over the same London club in February. Winning world football’s oldest competition would complete the set of major trophies for Klopp since taking charge of Liverpool in 2015. An investment group led by Todd Boehly looks to complete the takeover from sanctioned owner Roman Abramovich. Tuchel has reached every major final since being hired by Chelsea at the start of 2021, winning the Champions League last season and the Club World Cup in February. The FA Cup final is celebrating 150 years since the start of the competition. Chelsea is almost certain to qualify for the Champions League by finishing third, so winning the FA Cup -- after Thomas Tuchel’s side was beaten in last season’s final by Leicester -- would provide a welcome lift.

Chelsea forward Christian Pulisic gave his insight on manager Thomas Tuchel and his side's upcoming FA Cup final against Liverpool on Saturday afternoon.

“I mean, yeah, he can be very hard,” he continued. You just take it and move on. They have a ton of talent and incredible players and a great manager.

This will be a tight match with much on the line for both sides. This time, the Blues and the Reds will be aiming to lift the FA Cup trophy for the ninth and eighth time, respectively. The battle with Chelsea will be the Merseysiders’ 60th in what will be 63 competitive matches this season. This is Chelsea’s third straight appearance in the FA Cup final and fourth in five seasons. With Saturday’s cup final their last chance of silverware this season, full focus will be needed to come out on top. Saturday will see Chelsea and Liverpool go at it for the fourth time this season, with another trophy on the line.

These two sides have already met three times this season, including in the EFL Cup final.

"When you go for three or four trophies, it's clear you get it or you don't. It's a busy season, but it will never happen that the FA Cup is just a normal game. He wants his team to be hungry and show on Saturday what they didn't in that game. "It's pretty surprising to be in the situation where we can try, and Mateo wants to try it. And the medical department gave the green light to try it," Tuchel said ahead of the match. The Brazilian has been dealing with thigh issues and doesn't look like he'll play in this one. In all three of their meetings this season, two of which were in the Premier League, no team has been able to win in regulation.

Liverpool face Chelsea in the FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium but the kick-off time has been chnaged.

Eurovision then takes over on BBC One from 8pm after a 45 minute break. This is the first time that Liverpool have reached the FA Cup final since 2012, which the Reds lost to Chelsea. For the London club, this is their third consecutive FA Cup final but they have lost their last two. However, the kick-off time for this year’s final has been changed due to the Eurovision Song Contest. Due to BBC scheduling issues, the FA Cup final has been brought forward in a surreal turn of events.

In this week's Blood Red, Paul Gorst assesses what an FA Cup triumph would mean for Liverpool.

But at such a delicately poised period of their recent history, with so much to be seized, this Liverpool squad find themselves on the cusp of genuine greatness. Success for Jurgen Klopp offers further validation to the theory that this current iteration of Liverpool FC is one of its greatest ever. "It is about the way we play, the way we develop and the state the club is in. This is a healthy club in a good situation. For Liverpool, none of that is their concern. They have several of their own reasons for wanting more silver to add to the 2021/22 haul.

He said: “[He] will definitely be back for the [Champions League] final, and for the Chelsea final and before, we will see, we don't know." But ...

But despite ruling him out of this afternoon’s game, Klopp has revealed the Brazilian will be available for the Champions League final. Liverpool are appearing in their first final since 2012, when they were defeated 2-1 by the Stamford Bridge club. Liverpool have the chance to claim their second piece of silverware of the season when they take on Chelsea in the final of the FA Cup this afternoon.
