The EFL Cup championship is on the line when Chelsea battle Liverpool in the final on Sunday from Wembley Stadium in London, England. The Blues, who suffered a 4-1 thrashing at the hands of Liverpool at the end of January, will benefit from a banged-up Reds lineup. Among those who might not see action include Liverpool's second-leading scorer Diogo Jota, who has nine goals and four assists in EPL play this season, as well as goalkeeper Alisson Becker, who is nursing a hamstring injury. The Reds are still formidable, however, having won three in a row, including a 4-1 thumping of Luton Town on Wednesday.

The match kicks off at 2 p.m. ET. Liverpool are the +110 favorites (risk $100 to win $110) in the consensus Chelsea vs. Liverpool odds on the SportsLine site, with Chelsea at +220. A draw is priced at +250 and the over/under for total goals scored is 2.5 (For more soccer coverage, click here).
