Liverpool will be looking to win three straight finals against Chelsea when the two sides clash in Sunday's Carabao Cup title decider at Wembley.
The last time the same teams faced off in a final, the Reds clinched the FA Cup 6-5 on penalties in 2022 after a goalless draw through regulation and added time.
This will be a repeat of the 2021-22 Carabao Cup final where again Jurgen Klopp's men triumphed on penalties (11-10) after 120 minutes of a grueling contest couldn't produce a winner.
For Mauricio Pochettino's side - without European football, and struggling to strike consistent form in the Premier League - the domestic cup competitions could be the Blues' best bets for landing silverware this term.
Meanwhile, the current league leaders, Liverpool are still in line for a quadruple this season as they are still competing in four tournaments.

Klopp is forced to manage without all of Alisson Becker, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ben Doak, Stefan Bajcetic, Joel Matip, Diogo Jota, Thiago Alcantara and Curtis Jones on account of their respective setbacks.
