Chris Sutton has claimed the Carabao Cup final is 'like a World Cup final' for Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino.
The Blues are set to take on Liverpool at Wembley this Sunday as the Argentine looks to win his first trophy since arriving at Stamford Bridge in the summer.
It has been a mixed and chaotic campaign for Chelsea, who have lost 10 and won 10 of their 25 league games, amid several inconsistent performances.
However, since this season's nadir of a 4-2 home defeat by Wolves at the start of February, the Blues have beaten Aston Villa and Crystal Palace before they drew 1-1 with Man City last weekend.
