The London club is in tenth place in the Premier League, 25 points behind Liverpool, their opponent in the League Cup final.
Chelsea face Liverpool this Sunday, at Wembley, looking to win the League Cup. The Blues’ season is not being the most positive, and the London club sees winning this trophy as a vehicle to calm dissatisfied fans.
The main target has been coach Maurício Pochettino, who is looking to win his first trophy in England, and who could calm the relationship with Chelsea fans, who see his team in tenth place in the Premier League, 25 points behind the leader. Liverpool, precisely the opponent in the League Cup final.
Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly is expected to fly from the United States to watch the first final since he and Behdad Eghbali bought the London club from Roman Abramovich in 2022. Boehly spent more than £1 billion (about 1.17 billion euros) in signings for the team, but still without visible results.
Pochettino, who was defeated precisely by Chelsea in the 2015 League Cup final, knows how significant it would be to win the first national trophy for the Blues since the 2018 FA Cup.
“It’s a dream for us. We have the opportunity and we will fight. The team is ready and we will be very competitive. The team is paying attention to this competition. There has been a change in the way we compete, compared to the first half of the season”, said Pochettino, who has won just one of his 13 meetings with Klopp.
