The 62nd EFL Cup final will take place at Wembley Stadium on Sunday afternoon, as Chelsea and Liverpool prepare for a fierce battle for the domestic trophy.
The Reds are seeking a record-breaking ninth triumph in the competition and a first since 2012, while their capital counterparts have won it five times previously but not since 2015.
