Star men
Steven Gerrard vs
Frank Lampard
The two midfield generals, who famously can't play together in the England set-up, will be looking to outdo each other at Wembley. Lampard is one short of equalling a club record 25 FA Cup goals (currently held by Bobby Tambling), while Gerrard will be seeking to add to his collection of FA Cup final goals after his dramatic double against West Ham in 2006.
I think it will be a very tight match, maybe even ET and penalties. I fancy Chelsea to win it though. They have the strength in depth and Liverpool simply don't have enough quality.
Come on the blues......plenty of noise at Wembley today. (just like in the semi) Chelsea's record in FA cup finals at the new Wembley. 3 Finals........3 wins.........
With the amount of cash they have, it's not really surprising. Never did anything until the cash came in, like man city. Never built up a great squad, like ManU with home grown talent. Just got lucky and bought themselves success.
i think it will be a classic, both clubs are well below their best but both are big game teams, Chelsea still have something to play even if they don't win but Liverpools season is over so only a fool would write them off with their history
5 .15 kick off.... what 's that all about !!!! I'll be asleep by then.
I agree...must be money in it for theFA again & stuff the supporters!
Chelsea fans , fall out of bed and into wembley. Liverpool fans, 3 or 4 hour drive home, might get back home about midnight. Nice one, FA. Just to get more TV revenue. The FA really is run by a four by two.
United fan here, hoping for a Chelski win. Couldn't tell you why though, lol
Liverpool fan here, if we were playing Man City, would you feel different ? lol. Just a thought.

Chelsea's focus will be on the Champions League so can see Liverpool edging a win.
