Meanwhile, Chelsea face a trip to Crystal Palace this Saturday, before they host Lille in the first leg of their last-16 Champions League encounter on Tuesday.

Both clubs will be hopeful of coming through their respective matches without any fresh injuries, and with all-important silverware in their sights, we take a look at the early team news before the Carabao Cup final.

Jota was taken off at half-time during Wednesday’s 2-0 Champions League last-16 first-leg win over Inter Milan with an ankle ligament injury.

The Portugal star was seen wearing a protective boot after Liverpool returned from Milan on Thursday and is now a major doubt for Saturday’s clash with Norwich.

It remains unclear whether the 25-year-old will be available for the Carabao Cup final with Chelsea.
