Paul Merson says the Carabao Cup final between Liverpool and Chelsea this weekend is too hard to call.

The Sky Sports pundit believes the two teams are evenly matched and he is hard-pressed to back one of them coming out on top. He is expecting the game to go all the way to a penalty shootout:

“Predicting a game like this is an impossible task, but I’m going for a 2-2 draw! As for penalties? Flip a coin, because there’s absolutely no one on the planet who can predict which one of these two sides would prevail in such a situation.”

Merson is pretty spot on with his assessment. As we saw in the last game the two sides faced each other at Stamford Bridge last month, there isn’t a great deal between the teams.

The Reds undoubtedly have the edge in attack, but they lost control of the midfield during the Premier League fixture, meaning they couldn’t hold on to their 2-0 lead.

With Thiago expected to start on Sunday, that could well swing things in Jurgen Klopp’s favour, but Chelsea are also strong defensively so this final is likely to be won on the finest of margins.
