Mark Lawrenson has given his prediction for the upcoming match between Chelsea and Liverpool.
The two sides are set to face each other in the EFL Cup final on Sunday.
Ahead of the game, Lawrenson has shared his thoughts, predicting a 1 - 1 at a full time. He believes that Liverpool will become the winners on the penalties after extra time.
"I have a feeling this game is going to go the distance. Liverpool keeper Caoimhin Kelleher has a history of making saves in penalty shootouts, including against Leicester in the quarter-finals, and I just wonder if this final will end up being settled in the same way," the pundit said on
BBC Sport.
"Whoever wins, it will be extremely close. Chelsea will make sure of that, even though their form is not great. They carry much less attacking threat, but they are still solid and have not lost that.
"Liverpool are on a fantastic run of nine straight wins in all competitions and scoring plenty of goals too, but they might have to be patient at Wembley as they try to break the Blues down."
