Former Manchester United forward, Dimitar Berbatov has predicted the potential result of Chelsea’s Carabao clash against Liverpool on Sunday.
Meanwhile, the Blues and the Reds will be facing the third time this season after a 1-1 and 2-2 draw in their first and second legs of their Premier League encounters.
Thomas Tuchel’s citizens have already received two pieces of silverwares including the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup.
However, the Sunday’s title will be the first domestic trophy of the season and it will hold at Wembley.
Therefore, Berbatov revealed that Chelsea and not Liverpool are likely to emerge victors after the match.
The Bulgarian striker said the match is going to be a very tough one which 90 minutes may not be sufficient enough to decide the winners.

The 41-year-old however, added that the current Champions League holders will later manage to carve out the victory.
Berbatov told BetFair: “This should be a League Cup final to savour, with the European champions taking on the Premier League title contenders and two of the best managers in the world, who know each other well, going up against each other.”
“Liverpool are in stunning form but, while Chelsea have struggled recently, I fancy the Blues to raise their game for this final.”
He added: “I don’t think it will be settled in 90 minutes and think the Blues could nick it in extra-time.
“Chelsea 2-1 Liverpool.”
