Jamie Carragher makes bold Liverpool Carabao Cup final prediction despite new Chelsea threat

Jamie Carragher, a former Liverpool legend has predicted that Liverpool will win the upcoming Carabao Cup final match. He had this to say even with Chelsea's impressive draw at Manchester City recently.

Chelsea made a surprise start by leading in the first half of the game against Premier League leaders, thanks to a late goal by Raheem Sterling. After the break, they put on an amazing defensive show that was only broken when Rodri equalised eight minutes from time.

This strong performance is sure to boost Chelsea's confidence as they prepare for the big match at Wembley next week.

Even though Mauricio Pochettino's team did very well against Manchester City, Jamie Carragher still reckons that Liverpool has the upper hand. However, he acknowledges it won't be an easy match, particularly since Chelsea has shown how skilful they are in their counter-attacks.

Jamie Carragher commented after Chelsea managed to get a valuable point from their away game against Pep Guardiola's team, saying: «Chelsea had to take something from the game into the cup final. You had to build some belief.»

He added: «Playing away at Man City is a tougher game than playing Liverpool at Wembley. Liverpool's injuries as well, I think it will be a tight game. I think Liverpool will just have the edge.»
