Tottenham Vs Chelsea
Chelsea look set to win their third League Cup trophy in four seasons as they take on Spurs at the first Carling Cup final at Wembley.
Chelsea have won the competition four times in their history and twice under José Mourinho, including a thrilling 2-1 victory over Arsenal last campaign and a dramatic 2-3 win against Liverpool in 2005. Chelsea's first victory in this competition was in 1965 when they beat Leicester City 3-2 on aggregate in a two-legged final, making them the first London club to win the competition. They repeated the same success in 1998, beating Middlesbrough 2-0 in the final at Wembley.
The team's run to the final this campaign has been an enjoyable won, topped off with a superb 3-1 aggregate win over Everton in the semi-finals. Chelsea first had to overcome Hull City in round 3 in Avram Grant's first win as manager in a 4-0 thrashing of the Championship outfit, whilst Leicester City proved a more difficult obstacle, requiring a Frank Lampard hattrick and an Andrei Shevchenko thunderbolt to win the game. Liverpool were brushed aside 2-0 in the quarter finals by goals from Lampard and Shevchenko once again, making Lampard the tournament's top scorer. Match chat here!
