The two sides have enjoyed some memorable battles over the years -- the 4-4 tie at Stamford Bridge in the 2008-09 Champions League quarterfinals, anyone? -- but have been evenly matched in this season's league games, with a 1-1 draw at Anfield in August followed by an enthralling 2-2 draw in London in January.
Both Liverpool and Chelsea have bigger priorities -- the Premier League and Champions League, for a start -- and they have each won the two big prizes in recent seasons. The pressure is off both teams on Sunday and Chelsea have already banked the UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup this season, but if one team needs it more, it's Liverpool, simply because Jurgen Klopp's team have arguably not won the amount of silverware their performances have deserved over the past three or four seasons.
By winning the Carabao Cup, the Reds would somewhat address that imbalance, while also maintaining hopes of an unprecedented quadruple this season. Winning at Wembley could be Liverpool's launchpad for a remarkable end to the campaign. From the other side, success for Chelsea would extend coach Thomas Tuchel's trophy streak to four since taking charge in January 2021 -- an obvious incentive for the German tactician
ProfAmaben: I don't care! The whites don't care about what happens in Africa, most of them don't even know Nigeria but Africa. It's surprising that Africans know everything about them and treat their news as first class.

boman2014: Some female students in a high school were reportedly attacked by an “evil spirit''.
The incident happened at DR EP Lekhela High School, Galeshwe in Kimberly, Northern Cape, on Wednesday morning, February 23, when girls apparently started acting hysterical after the first period.
About 18 girls, mostly in Grades 8 to 10, started crying, screaming, and rolling on the floor after apparently seeing a “scary creature that was making them weak”.
The girls, from different classes, reportedly started acting up after the first period. None of them could identify something that they could have eaten or drank after reports that the learners might have eaten “space cookies”.
The incident was similar to one at St Boniface High School two weeks ago where the school had to be dismissed due to disruptions.
It is believed that the same scenario happened at another high school in Galeshewe on Tuesday February 22.
At EP Lekhela, pastors were called to the school while several parents also arrived at the school upon learning about the incident. Apparently, it took one of the learners about four hours to return to her normal self.
The affected learners were sent home in the care of their parents while the school was dismissed at 11am before a representative from the Northern Cape Department of Education arrived.
One of the learners affected is in Grade 8 and expressed how shocked and drained she was after her experience. Her aunt is a traditional healer and her grandmother a prophet. She said she collapsed in the women’s toilet.
“I went to the toilet with two of my friends. I heard a powerful force shutting the door and got a shock and strong shivers. I started praying before getting out of the toilet.
When I opened the door I saw a creature passing the toilet door where I was supposed to exit. I felt weak and everything went blank," she said.
"Apparently my friends brought me to the staff room, where they found other children in the same condition. My parents were called in and already knew what to bring to comfort me, ” she said.
Her grandmother said that there was an evil spirit at the school.
The chairperson of the school governing body, Jerry Thekiso, said the school called the pastors because none of the staff were trained to deal with such situations. He said the affected learners were isolated.
"We called the parents of the affected learners directly in order for them to come to the school prepared and sent out notices to the rest of the parents.
"That way it was easier to determine which of the parents should be allowed in the isolation section.
Almost all the parents of the affected learners knew exactly how to assist their children before going home because they used their own cultures and traditional methods, ” Thekiso explained.
Religious leaders in Kimberley, including traditional practitioners, availed themselves for intervention measures and raised concerns that this trend of “evil spirits” is growing at schools.
They all shared the view that “opportunistic satanic methods” are being used on young people and children.
The Dean of the Kimberley Diocese, Father Victor Tlhole, emphasised that the department must bring prayer sessions back to schools. He said returning the school assembly back to normal was way overdue after lockdown.
He said he realised during the St Boniface incident how the children are currently lost, making way for the “devil’s activities to overpower them”
"Let us allow God back at the schools. Bring prayer back to schools. School assembly prayer is about the relationship with God, understanding yourself and who God is. The children must be encouraged from a young age that prayer should not only be practised at church but at home.”
nwekeugochukwu: Man Arrested After Killing His Wife And Trying To Abscond to South Africa (Photos)
An abusive husband who was on the run after strangling his wife to death has been arrested, IGBERETV reports.
Ifeanyi Victor allegedly strangled Evelyn Alifia on February 18, 2022 at their home in Lugbe, Abuja.
The pair began dating last year and got engaged in August 2021, just months after.
Against the advice of her pastor, Evelyn, a mother-of-one, chose to be with Ifeanyi.
In December 2021, they updated their Facebook friends that they are now married.
Ifeanyi, who is jobless, moved in with Evelyn and reportedly began abusing her almost immediately.
Evelyn was financially responsible for the family, yet she reportedly suffered abuse and was maltreated by Ifeanyi, who threatened to kill her when provoked.
Evelyn began planning to move out of the house when she reportedly found a gun in Ifeanyi's bag on Saturday February 18, 2022.
She rang her sister and informed her of her findings and her decision to inform the police.
That evening, Ifeanyi allegedly strangled Evelyn and locked her body in their room before running off.
He reportedly called Evelyn's family and informed them of their daughter's death. Reports say he ran off with Evelyn's phone and ATM and promised her family that he will return them later.
The police recovered Evelyn's decomposing body on Monday, Feb. 21, while Ifeanyi remained on the run.
He was eventually captured on Thursday, Feb. 24, while making enquiries about travelling to South Africa.
A photo of him, taken just before he was apprehended, shows him laughing without remorse, despite taking his wife's life.
Giving details of Ifeanyi's arrest, John Paul wrote on Facebook;
Teerach: Like say Putin send them. Y'all think the nigga is a fool ba? He weighed his options very well before invading Ukraine. He knows it's for the greater good. He saw the empty threat abi sanctions coming. That's what leadership is all about. Making decisions knowing there may be severe consequences. You want them to shiver so the US can use them to shine. Right now, the world knows that Putin is a mad man, them go begin dey calm down for where him dey. Man mustn't live by bread alone. There are some fight best taken. Those people saying China is abstaining dey find country head to use knack ground. Like US is joining Ukraine in the fight ba? With the kind energy they used in pushing Ukraine to her fall, one would believe US soldiers are even in Ukraine right now helping out. Na sanctions them dey dish. Be dishing sanctions and blaming Putin until Ukraine is wiped out and turned into Libya, Syria or Afghanistan. May God help us to make decisions on our own without external influence and without enemies disguising as friends.
You are one with sense here...many lack it on this awesome forum...they just see things on the surface,they think Putin just slept and wake and decided to establish war.
ayindejimmy: While they're imposing these sanctions they should double their efforts at supplying deadly weapon and ammo to Ukraine. Victory for Ukraine
They are all useless,they can only bark but can't bite...Putin will go head to head with all of them.
athaboi: you are so foolish and I don't reply hungry people like you! Who's talking about being better you fool...I was only wondering about him being 40 already and you are here talking about being better...I don't blame you, you must be part of this jobless boys making noise all around here! Idiot
Read all this your senseless essay to your father.... slowpoke... poverty stricken nonentity.

ILEMUDA: I dislike US, they will cause war and start painting other nations black. Very wicked set of people, they always do this to enhance their economic gain in every region.
So I like the way Russia is dealing with them, although I sympathize with the Ukrainian citizens.
You are on point...US and British are very cunning.
Ammishaddai: [s][/s]Tell your sister to come give me a casual kiss on the cheeks and see if she won't return to you full of sperm . Idiòt
Destined failure...from poverty stricken family...maybe your mother was a cheap prostitute that's why u reason like some piece of shit...get lost loser.

A failure is what and who u are,take it or leave...bitter soul,so a girl kissing a guy's cheek makes her cheap?... illiterate,go get some education... slowpoke.
rickpat: do what your mind is telling you..If you succeed,bravo...if you fail..sorry...bear the consequences..in this part of the world we barely use a kiss to the cheek for pleasantries..but I advise,you take it as normal or stop her...office romance doesn't always end well ..face your work o...work scarce and bills many ..good luck
Ammishaddai: Bros you don't need a crystal ball to tell you she's cheap and wants a casual affair with you. But play your cards well and manipulate the situation to favor you in the long-run . Just remember that just because she kissed you now , doesn't mean she can't kiss someone else in the near future
