Check out how to watch Chelsea v Liverpool in the FA Cup final this week, including TV details, team news, predictions and odds.
The FA Cup final is all set up with Liverpool aiming to complete half of their quadruple quest when they face Chelsea at Wembley for the second time this season.
The Reds overcame the Blues in the Carabao Cup final earlier this year to claim their first trophy of the 2021/22 campaign. Goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga missed the decisive penalty in the shootout following an entertaining yet goalless draw.
Jurgen Klopp will know the Premier League title is slipping through his grasp but he will be determined for his men to make the most of their remaining cup finals: this one and the Champions League showpiece game.
Chelsea are set for new ownership but Thomas Tuchel must use what he has at his disposal right now for his team to limp over the line.
His squad are third in the Premier League table but have only won two of their last seven league outings and are in danger of falling out of the top four at the last stage.
However, fans from both clubs will shelve their thoughts and emotions about the league scenario and will fill Wembley knowing each of them are 90 minutes from the iconic silverware once more.

FA Cup final prediction: Chelsea v Liverpool
An early goal could open the floodgates here. The longer tight games between good teams wear on, the less likely a decisive breakthrough will be made.
Liverpool are without the injured Fabinho, a major loss for the Reds who provides so many robust defensive capabilities in midfield. Chelsea will hope to seize on his absence and exploit whoever fills his place.
Saying that, Liverpool boast so much talent going forward, it's hard to look beyond them in any game. Sadio Mane is the latest hero on the rotating merry-go-round of match-winners. If he doesn't step up again, Mo Salah will, Luis Diaz will, Diogo Jota will, Roberto Firmino will, even Divock Origi will.
Our prediction: Chelsea 1-2 Liverpool (15/2 at bet365)
