 OK so now all of the above is out of the way lets get on with the footy talk.


Its FA Cup final day and we at footballcrazybaby.blogspot.com can not wait for this big battle to commence.


In the Blue corner we have 6 times FA Cup winners Chelsea, who have beaten the likes of Barcelona and have booked their place in the top european cup, 'the Champions League'.


In the Red corner we have 7 times FA Cup winners Liverpool, who have already payed a visit to wembly this year and going on to lift the Carling cup against Cardiff.


We have a fight on our hands today ladies and gentlemen. Chelsea last won the FA Cup in 2010 and with the new care taker manager looking to secure a full time contract, lifting the famous trophy will definatly do Di Matteo no harm.


Liverpool last won the FA Cup in 2006 and with such a turbulant season, Kenny Dalglish must guide his red army to victory today or the Liverpool faithful could see this season as a failure.


Liverpool beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge 2-1 on 20/11/2011 and the teams meet up again in the next premiership fixture at Anfield.

We think Chelsea will play Drogba instead of Torres, going on previous team selections by the Chelsea boss.


Ivanovic will get the nod infront of David Luiz, as Ivanovic is a huge threat at set pieces and David Luiz, you are never sure if he is going to do something rash.








For Liverpool we are 100% sure Riena will reclaim his possition between the sticks.


And with Skrtel and Agger fit, we will see Jamie Carragher drop to the bench.
Both CB's can score, and they have formed a formidable partnership, which sees normally first on the team sheet Carragher dropped for this game.

OUR PREDICTION;


It will be tight, hard and entertaining with chances for both teams.
90mins 1-1    Liverpool to win 2-1 in extra time.


CHEERS PPS FOR READING AND WE CAN'T WAIT UNTIL KICK OFF!!! BRING IT ON!!!


PS; Chelsea's defensive duo David Luiz and Gary Cahill failed to train with the squad ahead of tomorrow's FA Cup final and it is therefore expected that neither will start the match against Liverpool.
