Although Liverpool have serious criteria to beat Chelsea in the final of the Carabao Cup, the Merseyside club could have a great weakness that could be used by coach Mauricio Pochettino to finally balance the statistics against Jürgen Klopp, being in a way the winning of this title for the Blues coach a little revenge for what he experienced in the Champions League a few years ago when he was the coach of Tottenham.

Liverpool may present for the match day the incorporation in the starting lineup of several of the injured players at the moment, but even with that, Chelsea would have already deciphered the winning formula that Klopp uses with the full group, and the Reds' coach has successfully experimented with a new 2-3-5 formation that adapts perfectly to the qualities of his players, understanding Pochettino that the key will be to stop especially both sides where the Merseyside team exploits the most good soccer.
Klopp's secret is to use a good rotation of his players between the midfield and the attacking sector, with Salah, Alexander Arnold and Szoboszlai in the right side in order to generate openings and finishing opportunities or goal passes, on the left side the same situation occurs, but there may be variations between Luis Diaz/Diogo Jota, Kostas Tsimikas/Andrew Robertson and Curtis Jones/Alexis MacAllister.
If Chelsea can dominate both sides, the game will look much more balanced in every sense, with the Reds having that dynamic up front, as well as the offensive reference that is Darwin Nunez, forcing Klopp to make changes to suit the needs of the moment, with the classic 4-3-3 being Klopp's safest formation but the one that has the least effect in games of this type.

If Pochettino manages to neutralize Klopp's strategies, there will be no other option but for the coach to rely on all the individuals in the squad, which is no small thing since almost the entire starting lineup as well as the substitutes are in a moment of grace that is difficult to master, with Liverpool playing as well with stars as with substitutes, with the difference in the bench being perhaps the last card at Klopp's disposal to be able to win his first title of the year.
