Chelsea FanCast Preview Show #878

Stamford Chidge, Jonathan Kydd and Alex Churchill look ahead to Chelsea's Carabao Cup Final against Liverpool on Sunday and recap the Champions League win against Lille this week.


Adam Newson from Football.London joins us in part one to discuss the 2-0 win against Lille on Tuesday. A good win, good performance and the pressing and fluidity is back. Havertz v Lukaku is the case proven? Pulisic on the score sheet; Mendy and the defence imperious and Kante’s twin is back! Adam also reports back on Thomas Tuchel's press conference today where he answered questions on selection for Sunday's final? Will he be crazy enough to put James on the pitch, will it be Havertz rather than Lukaku and Mendy or Kepa? And Chelsea's Cup winning mentality –is uit down to Tuchel's "trust yourself, free your mind, release the tension, less details" approach and do Chelsea play better when underdogs?


In part two, Chidge, JK and Alex give their preview of the Carabao Cup Final. Chidge gives his Team selection and we ask surely Havertz has to start? What about Mount? Jorginho back or stay with Kante and Kovacic? Mendy or Kepa? We look at the League cup record against Liverpool – do we have the edge and will our hunt for the trophy be helped by Kelleher starting in goal, for Liverpool and Jota and Firmino out injured?


We wrap up by asking just how important is winning the Carabao Cup and how do we see it going & give you our predictions.
