Full list of Liverpool and Chelsea injuries as 19 players could miss Carabao Cup final

The Carabao Cup final is coming up, and both Chelsea and Liverpool have a number of players who are injured.

The match will take place on Sunday afternoon and it's the first chance for a team to win a trophy this season. It's a repeat of the 2022 final, which Liverpool won after an amazing penalty shootout that ended 11-10.

In that match, Kepa Arrizabalaga was brought on just before the shootout, but he missed the crucial penalty when the score was 10-10.

Both teams will be hoping they can avoid another shootout this time, especially as they have lots of other matches coming up. They'll want to win in normal time, but both managers have problems because some of their most experienced players are injured.
