The achievements of the two clubs in a trophy as old as this FA Cup are also relatively equal when Chelsea have 8 trophies in the traditional room, and Liverpool have 1 less. Therefore, this is also the motivation for the players from the port city of Liverpool to be determined to win the trophy after nearly 20 years of waiting (since 2006).

Meanwhile, Chelsea are loyal customers of the FA Cup when they reached the final of the last 5/6 seasons. However, Chelsea only won 1 time in 5 finals (in 2018), so they were also very “bitter” in this tournament when being called “the great runner-up”.

Liverpool have scored in the last 14 matches in all competitions while Chelsea have stalemate only once in those 14 matches. So it could be an open game, lots of goals scored and the outcome decided by individual excellence.
