Liverpool will “definitely” beat Premier League rivals Chelsea in the League Cup final on Sunday, according to former Reds defender Jose Enrique.
Chelsea play Liverpool in the first domestic cup final of the season on Sunday with both sides experiencing completely different fortunes in the Premier League.
