Liverpool and Chelsea will clash in the upcoming League Cup finale, and this epic face-off was preceded by their recent Premier League match. The Reds scored an easy win against the Blues, setting high expectations for their next match and maintaining the No. 1 spot in the Premier League rankings. Liverpool were in the 2-0 lead by the second half, thanks to Diogo Jota and Conor Bradley, who scored his very first goal for the team on Wednesday night. Dominik Szoboszlai and Luis Diaz cemented Liverpool’s domination, leading their side to a 4-1 win and securing their spot atop the Premier League table, with a five-point advantage. Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp said they could’ve scored even more following their triumph, but praised the players for standing their ground to Chelsea. “It’s not about that you get through this super-convincing and with no problems, the opponents are too good for that. That’s why I’m super happy with the performance, just because we had problems, we overcame them and had a lot of good moments,” said Klopp. Wednesday night’s match set the stage for the Carabao Cup final between Liverpool and Chelsea, set to take place at Wembley on February 25. If the Reds manage to take the trophy home, they’ll extend their record to ten League Cup wins.
