With momentum seriously growing in Liverpool’s 2021/22 season, the Reds will have a chance to win their first silverware of the campaign on Sunday, when they face Chelseas in Carabao Cup final at Wembley.
The Reds are still fighting on all four fronts and have closed the gap in the Premier League title race to just three points following a thumping 6-0 victory against Leeds United at Anfield on Wednesday evening.
Jurgen Klopp’s capture of forward Luis Diaz in the January transfer window has only strengthened the German’s options for the run-in, with arguably Liverpool’s strongest ever squad now at his disposal.

A versatile defender, Johnson has made 19 appearances for the Hammers this season, scoring once against Aston Villa on October 31.
