THIS weekend marks the 150th year anniversary of the FA Cup final, with Chelsea and Liverpool set to go head-to-head for the second time this season in a domestic cup final at the national stadium.

It has been just over two months since these two clubs battled out a 0-0 draw after extra time in the League Cup Final, which saw the team from Merseyside eventually take the cup back to the northwest following an epic penalty shootout.

Despite Jurgen Klopp obviously being the happier of the two managers following his team’s triumph, Thomas Tuchel will have been buoyed by his team’s performance over 120 minutes, as Chelsea gave as good as they got on the day.
