Chelsea vs Liverpool promises to be an epic FA Cup final at Wembley on Saturday as Jurgen Klopp's machine aim to keep their quadruple hopes alive.

Tuchel has plenty of options in attack and he went with in-form Romelu Lukaku in a central role with Pulisic and Mount underneath him. The two have meet 191 times in history. Welcome to a glorious sunny day here at Wembley. What a setting for what should be an incredible final between two giants of the English game. Wow. Liverpool well on top and Diaz is having the time of his life out there. Best bit of play for Chelsea as Reece James finds Romelu Lukaku in the box but he handled and the whistle goes. A cross is then whipped in but Salah heads over. The ball fell to Pulisic but he dragged his shot just wide. As for Chelsea this is the fourth major final Thomas Tuchel has reached in just over a year as Blues boss (two FA Cup finals, one League Cup final and the Champions League final) and he would dearly love to win this trophy to go along with the UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup Chelsea have already added to the trophy cabinet in 2021-22. That is a big blow for Liverpool and let’s see if he’s going to be fit for the Champions League final. Pulisic looks to the sky in disbelief. Good play from Jota in the build-up. Given the fact they already have the League Cup trophy, are just behind Manchester City in the Premier League title race heading into the final two games and are in the UEFA Champions League final against Real Madrid in Paris on May 28, this final represents the start of what could be an historic two weeks for Liverpool, even by their own high standards.

Liverpool won the FA Cup for the eighth time in their history on Saturday by beating Chelsea in a tense final at Wembley Stadium.

As a consequence, extra time was a scrap and the quality level dipped. Diaz and Andy Robertson then crashed efforts off the post as Liverpool applied pressure in the final 10 minutes of the 90. And the Colombian was one of three players to hit the woodwork in normal time. Liverpool won the FA Cup for the eighth time in their history on Saturday by beating Chelsea in a tense final at Wembley Stadium. Liverpool keeper Alisson started the move with a precise chip to Luis Diaz, who four passes later was sent racing through on goal by a piece of Trent Alexander-Arnold brilliance. The 2021/22 FA Cup had witnessed some spectacular goals on the road to Wembley but Liverpool almost scored a contender for Goal of the Season early in the first half.

Liverpool continues its quest for a historic quadruple as the Reds take on Chelsea in the FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium on Saturday, May 14 in a match ...

Taking both teams not to score is a decent bet based on the above, but Liverpool has been blanked only three times in 59 matches across all competitions this season, with goals in both matches against Chelsea this season. Chelsea's defense has been solid in FA Cup play, blanking Middlesbrough and Crystal Palace in the last two rounds. Lastly, Klopp must also decide whether to stick with Caomihin Kelleher for the Cup final, having deployed the youngster thus far through the competition, or move to regular starter Allison in goal. Despite playing in every single match available to be played in 2021-22, Liverpool is somehow nearly fully healthy with two weeks remaining in the campaign. After that League Cup title, the Reds' pursuit of a historic quadruple is still on. Not a single penalty had been missed after 10 rounds of the shootout, and after Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher scored his team's 11th-round effort, he stopping that of his Chelsea counterpart Kepa Arrizabalaga.

Liverpool followed up by hitting the other post in less than a minute. For only the sixth time in FA Cup history, the final is level after 90 minutes. While there was contact between him and Alexander-Arnold this is a game that has given the players room to foul a bit more than usual. It was surprising to not see van Dijk play 120 minutes in the match so it has to be a thought going through Klopp's head. In extra time he had a big chance that Joel Matip played perfectly to stop but in what has been a trying season for Pulisic, he still showed how dangerous he can be in a Chelsea shirt. Matip's fresh legs were able to stay with Pulisic and stop his chance from ending in a goal. After a strong start to the match, Liverpool were out of energy after the 60th minute and if they plan to put everything possible into trying to win the Premier League, the team will need to push plenty of goals past Southampton. They trail City not only by three points, but also by seven in goal difference. It's another victory for Jurgen Klopp over Thomas Tuchel as well, after Liverpool bested Chelsea on penalties in the EFL Cup final in February. And it's also Chelsea's third straight FA Cup final loss, a record in the 150 year history of the competition. Lukaku only took one shot during the match and while he did create chances for Christian Pulisic by drawing in multiple defenders, he didn't do enough on his own when it mattered and was subbed out for Ruben Loftus-Cheek in extra time. There was no messing around for Tuchel who had swapped keepers at the end of extra time ahead of the last shootout these two teams played, back in the League Cup final. While Liverpool came out of the gate hot, adjustments from Thomas Tuchel and strong defending from Thiago Silva kept things close for the 120 minutes before another epic shootout between the two teams. The match was deadlocked at 0-0 after the sides played 120 minutes but Liverpool won the penalty shootout 6-5 to lift the FA Cup on the tournament's 150th anniversary.
