The games between these two teams have been very close, with three of the last five meetings ending in draws and one win apiece, meaning the final could be extremely tight.
Since joining Liverpool, Colombian Luis Diaz has responded with goals and assists on the pitch and will be looking for his first cup title in England after scoring some key goals that were important in getting to this stage.
Although he has struggled for consistency in recent months, "Captain America" Christian Pulisic is usually up to the task in this type of game and the Blues will be hoping he can come out on fire in what looks set to be a tight game.
While Thomas Tuchel advanced that Croatian Mateo Kovacic will most likely be out through injury, where he confessed he was one of the immovable elements for this clash:
"I tell you not as a coach or as a pundit, but I think it's very unlikely that we will see him [in the FA Cup final]. If Mateo misses I'll be very disappointed because he was a clear starter. You could see the quality with Jorgi and him in midfield when it was eleven against eleven. We will see. Maybe we will have a miracle," he confessed.
A few days ago when Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was interviewed what he thought about Thomas Tuchel, he didn't hesitate to say that he wanted to face him again because he has had close encounters with him.
"It will be great to meet Thomas Tuchel again, as we have met three times during this campaign. All of those games ended in draws, by the way, which shows how competitive our games are," he said in an interview for the FA Cup.
Liverpool will contest the first title they can win over the next three weeks and Jurgen Klopp has already threatened to put his best on the pitch after they narrowly beat Aston Villa 2-1 in midweek in the Premier League; the Reds beat Nottingham Forest 1-0 in the quarter-finals and beat Manchester City 3-2 in the semi-finals.
Although it has not been the best year in football for Chelsea and after having announced the sale of the team for the tranquility of many players, the Blues will try to add one more trophy to their trophy cabinet where they will have to give high priority to the defensive part against the explosive attack of the rival; to reach this stage they beat Middlesbrough in the quarterfinals and Crystal Palace in the semifinals, both by a score of 2-0.
