2021/22 English FA Cup

Final

Chelsea v Liverpool

Wembley Stadium
London, England
Saturday, 14 May 2022
Kick-off is at 15h45  
 
Liverpool will be looking to complete the cup double over Chelsea when they meet in the FA Cup final at Wembley on Saturday, May 14.
 
Jurgen Klopp's side were crowned EFL Cup champions in February when they beat the Blues 11-10 on penalties under the famous arch after neither team was able to score in 120 minutes of football.
 
The Reds are also bidding for the quadruple as they will face Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League final, while also being in the hunt for Premier League honours.

However, their overall record in the competition against the west Londoners isn't great, having only won four of their previous 11 encounters.
 
Thomas Tuchel's men eliminated the Merseysiders in the fifth round last season with a 2-0 win and the capital club emerged 2-1 victors in the final 10 years ago prior to that.

Craig Pawson will take charge of the cup-tie in London and Klopp doesn't have fond memories of the match official, having criticised his decision making in the 3-2 defeat to West Ham earlier this term.
 
"People will say I'm looking for excuses, I'm not. I accept we're not too good to lose football games. Today we lost it, that's not nice but I accept it," the German said at the time.
 
"But when we speak about situations in a game you just need normal decisions from a referee. He didn't do that."
