Liverpool have one of the ´best squads I´ve seen´, says club great Fowler

Robbie Fowler believes Liverpool possess one of the best squads he has ever seen at the club, and says they hold a marginal edge over Chelsea ahead of this week’s EFL Cup final.

Jurgen Klopp’s side head to Wembley Stadium looking to win their first domestic cup under the German, as they face off with Thomas Tuchel’s Blues in north London.

The Merseysiders have been tipped as slight favourites by their opposing manager in the buildup, and club great Fowler – who scored 183 goals in 369 appearances for the Reds and is a two-time EFL Cup winner – feels they have the players to triumph.

“Whatever team shows up, either side has shown they can compete,” Fowler told Stats Perform ahead of Sunday’s match. “Chelsea have played in five major finals in the last 12 months, so you know what they’re capable of.

“But you look at Liverpool’s form of late, the squad they’ve got, they can compete with anyone. It has got the makings of a great game. I’m obviously sat on the Liverpool side of it.

“Whoever starts in the front three, if they turn up, Liverpool win the game because they’re just exceptional players. We’ve seen that in the past.
