Chelsea vs Liverpool: Starting XIs for Carabao Cup final confirmed

Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez and Dominik Szoboszlai have not made the Carabao Cup final squad.

A big blow for Liverpool, who make two changes from the team that beat Luton 4-1 in midweek. Both are in defence as Ibrahima Konate and Andy Robertson come in for Jarrell Quansah and Joe Gomez.

It’s a very, very youthful looking bench for Liverpool. Only Joe Gomez, Quansah and Kostas Tsimikas can be deemed first-team regulars.
