Chelsea vs Liverpool score predicted by simulation ahead of FA Cup final

Chelsea will be looking for revenge on Saturday afternoon when they face Liverpool in the FA Cup final.

After losing to Liverpool on penalties in the Carabao Cup final earlier this year, Chelsea will be looking to beat the Reds on the second attempt, this time in the FA Cup final. Thomas Tuchel's side suffered a tough 1-0 defeat to Leicester City in the same fixture last season, with this year being the third-consecutive FA Cup final for the Blues.

Chelsea come into the final off the back of a comfortable 3-0 win against Leeds United, once again tightening their grip on a top-four spot. Mateo Kovacic limped off with an injury following a horror challenge from Dan James, but Tuchel is hoping he will be fit for the final on Saturday.

As well as Kovacic, Tuchel is hoping that N'Golo Kante can return to his side for the final. Callum Hudson-Odoi and Ben Chilwell remain the only guaranteed absentees from the Chelsea squad.
