The FA Cup features an exciting final between two Premier League giants this weekend as Chelsea take on Liverpool at Wembley Stadium.

Both teams have impressive players in their ranks and will be determined to lift the cup on Saturday.

Chelsea are in third place in the Premier League standings and have not been at their best in recent weeks. The Blues eased past Leeds United by a 3-0 margin in their previous game and will need to work hard to achieve a similar result this weekend.

Liverpool, on the other hand, are in second place in the league table at the moment and are engaged in a battle with Manchester City for the Premier League title. The Merseyside outfit edged Aston Villa to a crucial 2-1 victory this week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.


Chelsea vs Liverpool Head-to-Head

The previous meeting between the two teams took place in the EFL Cup earlier this year and ended in a penalty shoot-out victory for Liverpool. Both teams failed to score in open play on the day and will want to be more clinical this weekend.
