Premier League legend Graeme Souness has predicted the winner between Liverpool and Chelsea ahead of their Carabao Cup final showdown.

Graeme Souness makes Carabao Cup final prediction

Interestingly, Souness has backed Jurgen Klopp's charges to see off the Blues once again when they meet on Sunday.

Speaking to talkSPORT, the football pundit gave the Merseysiders a 60 per cent chance of winning the final.

"I'm a Liverpool supporter. It's not a done deal. Of course, they have a chance. For me, it's a 60/40 game. I think Liverpool will win," he said via Sportskeeda.

"That's even without the boys who went off injured. That's my one concern for Liverpool. They've got an abundance of strikers and even guys that change games when they're not playing well," he added.

The match comes at a time when Liverpool are enjoying a fine run of form, with the side currently topping the standings with 57 points after 25 games.
