MARTIN KEOWN ON THE FA CUP FINAL: Chelsea can punish Liverpool in the same way they did Manchester City in the Champions League final

Fittingly for its 150th anniversary, this FA Cup final has all the makings of an epic battle between two great tacticians and their teams.

Chelsea and Liverpool have faced each other three times this season and they've all ended in draws after 90 minutes, with Jurgen Klopp's side edging the Carabao Cup final 11-10 on penalties.

Thomas Tuchel and Chelsea have been on a tempestuous journey. He is heading into his fifth final in 15 months, and Chelsea can currently brag that they're the Club World Cup holders, but they have been surrounded by uncertainty of late.
