Elsewhere, the Blues have also been told the colours they are set to wear for the clash. It has been confirmed that Chelsea will be on their yellow away strip, whilst Liverpool will wear their traditional red colours.

Of course, Tuchel will hope to lead the Blues to the trophy, with the side having been left frustrated on their last two visits to the FA Cup final in each of the last two years. 

They were at first defeated by Arsenal during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, whilst Leicester City ran-out winners at Wembley Stadium last term - Youri Tielemans’ wonder-strike proving to be the difference between the two teams.

So far this season, Chelsea have defeated Chesterfield, Plymouth Argyle, Luton Town, Middlesbrough and Premier League rivals Crystal Palace to reach this season’s final. 

Liverpool have managed to get past Shrewsbury Town, Cardiff City, Norwich City, Nottingham Forest and Manchester City en route to the Wembley showpiece.

Intriguingly, next month’s meeting under the arch is a replay of this season’s Carabao Cup final. Following a 0-0 draw after extra-time, Liverpool claimed victory via a penalty shootout.
