Liverpool and Chelsea clash at Wembley on Saturday with a rich history of Cup success in today's changing landscape.

For all this, and for all the Cardiff heroics of Michael Owen in 2001 and Steven Gerrard in 2006, Liverpool have not won the Cup at Wembley for 30 years. Those seven wins between 1997 and 2018 – achieved under seven managers – feel somehow pivotal to the mythology of the modern Chelsea, the idea that there is no club in England better at lifting itself for the one-off occasion. But nor is it the sort of thing you put on the side of a bus. For Jürgen Klopp and his formidable Liverpool team, the FA Cup represents a sort of final frontier, a destination as well as a part of the wider journey. At its best the FA Cup is not simply a time capsule or historical re-enactment. One of the greatest misconceptions about the FA Cup over the years is that it has failed to move with the times.

Thomas Tuchel is keen to avenge Chelse's Carabao Cup misery ahead in the Blues' FA Cup final clash with Liverpool.

Chelsea have fallen at the last hurdle in each of their previous two attempts in the competition, losing to Arsenal and Leicester City - weirdly enough, from the away dressing room. It will not give us the Carabao Cup title back, but we are here and were here last season in the FA Cup final, and that means an unbelievable lot to us." According to The FA, the west Londoners have only ever lost one FA Cup final when awarded the home dressing room, winning six from seven - the defeat came last year when Leicester City beat Chelsea 1-0.

However, Kelleher will have to be satisfied with a place on the bench on Saturday. The striker, who made headlines with FA Cup goals against Manchester City, Leicester, and Middlesbrough has opened up on the cut-throat manner he was let go. It’s never in a position where you have 12 options, it’s always in a position where you [don’t]. We have a few players. The game is also being streamed live on the BBC iPlayer and ITV Hub. An Andy Carroll header gave Liverpool hope and sparked a frantic ending but Chelsea held on, before making it a cup double by winning the Champions League later that month. Here’s all you need to know about the game.

Mason Mount and Erin Cuthbert have been speaking ahead of the FA Cup finals for the men and women.

So we're under no illusions it's going to be a tough game." When Erin spoke to Newsbeat last year, she said her pre-match superstition was to take a bath in magnesium salts. "To win would be monumental for a team that has built itself within the reputation of its own supporters as being one of the greatest ever." The Liverpool podcaster will be at Wembley to watch the game, as his club chases an unprecedented quadruple, and says he'll be feeling the "butterflies on Saturday morning". The 23-year-old has not yet won a domestic trophy with Chelsea, having lost two previous finals, and says he's "buzzing" to have the chance to change that. "The more you see people knocking us down the more you want to let the football do the talking," Erin adds.

“It's a busy season, but it will never happen that the FA Cup is just a normal game. The opponent will do the same and that’s why it will be such a good game.” But rather than bemoan a lack of preparation time, Klopp wants his players to embrace one of the biggest games of their careers. “We’ve spoken a lot about it, it is the biggest domestic cup competition in the world for sure. And we are very positive that will be the case.” But before that we don’t know, we will see.”

Chelsea will rock back the years ahead of the FA Cup final bout with Liverpool, and - for the superstitious - Thomas Tuchel has been gifted an early boost.

"There are not a lot of bigger games to be part of and it's why we are grateful and we will be well prepared. It will not give us the Carabao Cup title back but we are here and were here last season in the FA Cup final and that means an unbelievable lot to us." "We lost, of course, the final.

In my opinion it is good to have a certain routine for the players. If it is a weekend only with the cup final and maybe the cup final for the women, there would be even more attention. “I think it can be anything, a shot from the post and deflected on the post out or the post in. For me it is not a distraction and hopefully for everybody that works on the team and the team itself it is not.” It’s very likely that it is one of the two but we will not give the line-up today. We will do everything to be happy with ourselves and that we leave everything out there on the pitch. Normally the club would buy these tickets to provide it for the players’ parents of the academy so we stepped in and bought the tickets for them.” We will evaluate any situation of any player including Romelu. We will see what is going to happen and what the plans are.” “*laughs* I think if he plans to talk with the owner it is not his plan to talk with me! That’s what it is sometimes in football, the attention is so high that sometimes it attracts situations that you don’t want to have before big matches. We always need our very highest level to compete but we found it in the matches. We will try in two and a half hours in training and we will know more about it.

We're coming into the game in good form off the back of a lot of wins, and we're training really hard to be ready for it. "We had a rocky start but we're on the right track, going up. "There are 90 minutes in a game, it doesn't have to be the first minute that you score. Chelsea captain Magdalena Eriksson: "It's already a massive weekend for the club, having the men's team in the male final and the women's team in the other final. Be patient and ride it out, and hopefully we'll get the result we want. Hopefully we will lift the trophy in the end." We have to back that all the way. We're proving the interest is there and it's been there consistently since fans were allowed back in the stadium. we want to be that team beating them and have another opportunity on Sunday." Whatever happens on Sunday, we're proud of the season and we're moving in the right direction. When asked if their WSL title win takes the pressure off Chelsea on Sunday, Hayes replied: "If you choose to be in these positions, you have to accept that and I don't think there's any more or less pressure than there was a week ago. This week, we've got a full strength squad, including Fran Kirby. I think we're going into the game in a much better place than we did the Continental Cup final."

However, Santi Cazorla's free-kick gave Arsenal a foothold in the game. Then with seconds remaining of normal time, Lionel Scaloni smashed the ball into touch near the Liverpool dead-ball line so Djibril Cisse could receive treatment for cramp. Chelsea have been in ten FA Cup finals since the turn of the century and there have never been more than three goals in any of them. No one needed a replay. You still tucked in because it was there, but you'd lost your appetite. The FA Cup final may have diminished over the years as the riches of the Champions League and finishing 14th in the Premier League take priority but one change for the better has been the scrapping of FA Cup final replays.

and should Tuchel play Havertz or Lukaku? Liverpool and Chelsea's predicted XIs for the FA Cup final at Wembley This could just give him the edge over Konate. Tuchel has admitted that Kante is not 100% fit at the moment, but he is back in training, and given the significance of the match, he could be risked. However, Havertz is the ultimate big-game player, having scored in multiple cup finals already for Chelsea. With this in mind, it could leave Lukaku having to settle for a place on the bench. A calming influence at the back, he has proven time and time again that he is a man for the big occasions. At that point, it looked like his cup final dreams were in tatters, but he has made a remarkable recovery, and Tuchel has confirmed that he has a chance of playing. Thomas Tuchel put his faith in Mendy in the Carabao Cup final in February, and he is likely to do the same again here. Salah may have been a little unhappy to only start Liverpool's game against Villa on the bench given that the Golden Boot is on the line, but that should ensure that he is fresh for this game. He came on for the Brazilian in midweek and did a solid job, and Liverpool will hope that his experience will prove crucial in this clash. The Guinea international seems to have gone from strength to strength as the season has progressed, and he is likely to take his place on right-hand side of Liverpool's midfield three. He won the Player of the Match award in the Carabao Cup final, and the Dutchman will be hoping to create more happy memories with the Merseyside club at Wembley on Saturday. Caoimhin Kelleher got the nod in the Carabao Cup final, but Alisson has been Jurgen Klopp's preferred option in the latter stages of the FA Cup, and he should take his place in goal on this occasion as well.

‘Yeah, I think I of course want to be on the pitch, and recently with the limited times that I have had, I have been trying to make as big of an impact as I can. One of the cliches used around the cup is that it gives a chance for ‘unfashionable teams’ to capture the public imagination. In the mid-60s, Liverpool and Chelsea were the most fashionable sides in the game.” It has been a source of frustration, most of all to his father, who took to social media to complain about how his son is not used more. Follow live coverage of Chelsea vs Liverpool in the 2022 FA Cup final, below: For much of the past two decades there have been attempts to manufacture a rivalry between the clubs that goes beyond the natural levels of antagonism. A modern rivalry, steeped in FA Cup history. Chelsea will also be desperate to avoid becoming the first team in FA Cup history to lose three consecutive finals, after they were beaten by Leicester and Arsenal in 2021 and 2020 respectively. Chelsea cruised through their opening encounter, with Timo Werner, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Romelu Lukaku and Andreas Christensen all on target in the first half. It remains a possibility for Jurgen Klopp’s side, even if Manchester City are closing in on the Premier League title, but Chelsea and Thomas Tuchel will be out for revenge as they aim to win the competition for the ninth time. Kepa Arrizabalaga was the extra-time hero for Chelsea, saving Ryan Hardie’s spot-kick to sneak the Blues through without the need for a shoot-out. The Blues had no real pressure dealing with Middlesbrough, however, and progressed to the last four.

So even though Chelsea are current world champions, Liverpool have a stronger case to be the best team on the planet, and indeed in the solar system. Thomas Tuchel needs to make a call on the fitness of N’Golo Kante and Mateo Kovacic, neither of whom are 100 per cent fit. (That lot on Neptune are still playing the W-M formation FFS.) The recent form of both clubs makes them odds-on favourites today, though Chelsea looked a lot perkier when they dismantled Leeds in the week. One of those was a 2-1 victory over Liverpool a decade ago, when Petr Cech made one of the great FA Cup final saves. This is the 150th FA Cup final; none of the previous 149 have involved one recent world champion, never mind two. Then, on 17 May 1997, they beat Middlesbrough in the FA Cup final to win their first major honour in 26 years.

Whatever happens on Sunday, we’re proud of the season and we’re moving in the right direction. “[The Conti Cup Final] was a couple of months ago and a game where the girls were amazing.

He is the face, the charismatic leader of the development of this huge club. "It is at a club with a huge, huge reputation, not only in Europe but worldwide. "He can talk you into it and he does it all the time. We don’t want to have the sympathy of the country tomorrow, we want to have the trophy.” It is not possible." He is like one with the supporters and the club. The careers of Klopp and Tuchel are intrinsically linked. "There is a huge history in this club and there is huge sympathy for it. It’s always like this, but it’s always the fun part. Klopp is a larger-than-life character, a man with a booming laugh and warm smile. He can talk you into being the underdog against Villareal and against Benfica – and it’s a miracle, a miracle how they even draw against them. You have the feeling it’s purely about football.

He did pose a threat to Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final as a 70th-minute substitute but may have to settle for a role off the bench again. There never used to be any guessing over who Liverpool’s front three would be for big games but the options open to manager Jurgen Klopp mean two players will be disappointed on Saturday. On current form Sadio Mane and Luis Diaz, who has made such an impact since his arrival in January, have to start which means the last place will surely go to Mohamed Salah despite scoring just two goals (both in the same game) in his last 13 appearances. He may have scored three times in back-to-back matches, having not started the previous three, but Tuchel has not trusted him for the big games.
