The Chelsea vs Liverpool FA cup final is today, 14th May 2022.
Klopp, Liverpool’s coach has at least confirmed that Fabinho will be fit in time for the Champions League final later this month, with Jordan Henderson replacing him in defensive midfield. “We can cope, having him or not having him is a difference but it is all fine,” Klopp said on Thursday.
Andy Robertson and Mohamed Salah didn’t start at Villa Park but both come back into the side, with Klopp’s two big decisions coming at centre-back and up front. Ibrahima Konate pairs Virgil van Dijk in defence, selected ahead of Joel Matip. 
“That’s normal stuff that happens. It’s never in a position where you have 12 options, it’s always in a position where you [don’t]. “We have a few players. Hendo came on and played incredible [against Villa], he has played super games this season at number six so that is not a problem.”
Luis Diaz starts alongside Salah and Sadio Mane in the front three, which leaves Diogo Jota having to settle for a place on the bench. Both sides met at this stage of the competition in 2011 which Chelsea won.
The Blues are without Kai Havertz, as Lukaku starts. Kante begins from the bench, same as captain Azpilicueta.
Chelsea XI: Mendy; Chalobah, Thiago Silva, Rudiger, James, Kovacic, Jorginho, Alonso, Mount, Lukaku, Pulisic

Liverpool XI: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Henderson, Thiago, Keita; Salah, Mane, Diaz.
Subs: Kelleher, Milner, Firmino, Gomez, Jones, Jota, Tskimikas, Origi, Matip
