It’s not the league, it’s not the cup, it’s the League Cup – and it’s up for grabs

Some call it Carabao Cup after the competition sponsor, some call it the EFL Cup because it’s being governed by the English Football League organization, but to most fans – it’s still the League Cup. And although it doesn’t have the tradition nor the magic of the FA Cup, you don’t reach its final without wanting to go all the way. And when the finalists at Wembley Stadium are called Liverpool and Chelsea, you better not ignore it!After a four-year period of Manchester City dominance in this competition, finally, someone else is going to get their hands on the trophy.Liverpool are still in contention for four trophies this season. They’ve just behind the Citizens in the Premier League and are still in the Champions League and both domestic cups, with the lesser of those just a win away.🏆 It all comes down to this.See you in the morning!#EFL | #CarabaoCupFinal pic.twitter.com/O0RZ4bTLDd— Carabao Cup (@Carabao_Cup) February 26, 2022 Even though the competition has been treated with contempt by Premier League sides over the past decade or longer, Jurgen Klopp realizes that winning it would mean a lot to all the players – especially those who are yet to establish themselves as first-teamers.”It’s second time for me in this competition and I have lost so many finals in my life, but the few I won and the ones I lost didn’t hold me back to try again. We realised how big it is during the ride – each round we made, it was always really, really nice. If we could win it then it will be a proper trophy for the whole club because we used players from the under-18s, under-23s and it makes a really nice journey and a really nice story and I hope we can bring it back and celebrate it with the academy.”##EDITORS_CHOICE##Chelsea, on the other hand, have already won two trophies this season – the European Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup last month. Winning three trophies before March would be some achievement, but it’s not going to be easy for Thomas Tuchel and his players against the in-form Reds.Blues midfield maestro Jorginho says the hunger for more titles is always there.”It’s our hunger for winning trophies. When you win one, you don’t get comfortable and you want to win more, that’s the secret. You push even harder and work even harder to try to win more because every time you win something, the next time it’s going to be even more difficult with the other teams coming for you.”EFL CUPFinalSunday19.30: (3.30) Chelsea (3.25) Liverpool (2.40)***odds are subject to change
