Chelsea booked their place in the Capital One Cup final by edging past Liverpool in Tuesday night’s semi-final second leg.
The Blues are now as short as 2/7 with some bookmakers to win the trophy at Wembley Stadium on March 1.
That’s no surprise, though, and we reckon Chelsea are dead certs to be 2014-15 Capital One Cup champions.
Here are three reasons why…
1. Quality
The first reason is shamelessly obvious, but probably the most important.
Chelsea are the best team in England, hence why they currently sit five points clear of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table.
Jose Mourinho will play his strongest XI and, if they perform anywhere near top form, they will cruise to victory at Wembley.
2. Relative freshness
If, as expected, Tottenham Hotspur overcome Sheffield United tonight, Chelsea’s final opponents will be hit with a horrible fixture pile-up.
Spurs must travel to Italy for the second leg of a crucial Europa League game against Fiorentina on the Thursday before the Wembley showdown, while Chelsea are likely to have a full seven days to prepare.
3. Revenge
Again, assuming Spurs get through, Chelsea will be out for revenge.
Not only did the Blues lose their last game against Tottenham – 5-3 at White Hart Lane on New Year’s Day – they were beaten by their London rivals the last time they reached the League Cup final – in 2008.
Don’t make Mourinho’s Chelsea angry, you won’t like them when they’re angry!
