England’s first piece of silverware of the season is up for grabs this season as Chelsea and Liverpool face off at Wembley Stadium for the EFL Cup (11:30 a.m. ET). Both sides may be looking for more significant prizes before the campaign is over but for Thomas Tuchel and Jurgen Klopp this is their chance to win a first domestic cup competition at their clubs.
Roman Abramovich’s decision to place Chelsea in stewardship has cast a significant shadow over today’s game and it remains to be seen what gestures and actions will take place on the pitch and outside it to offer support for Ukraine, which has been invaded by Russia. Tuchel has acknowledged that that is already affecting the Blues squad, who will be doing all they can to focus on one of the most significant games of their season. Stay tuned for all the analysis, reaction and talking points from Wembley.
