MAURIZIO SARRI is out to beat his Wembley hoodoo tomorrow.
The Chelsea boss has been beaten three times at the national stadium this season and he now lines up there against holders Manchester City in the Carabao Cup Final.
Chelsea lost 2-0 to Pep Guardiola’s men in the Community Shield at the Wembley in August. He was then beaten twice by Tottenham – in the league and in semifinals of the Carabao Cup.
Chelsea did beat City 2-0 at Stamford Bridge back in December but they suffered real damage with that 6-0 mauling at the Etihad earlier this month.
I reckon it will be an unwanted four-timer for Sarri’s side.
Both sides have won the competition – in its many guises – five times but this is the first meeting between the two sides in a major domestic final, if you do not count the 1985-86 Full Members Cup Final which Chelsea won 5-4.
City are 8-15 with BetVictor to win in 90 minutes with FA Cup holders Chelsea 5-1 and the draw at 16-5.
I hope to see Sarri give a start to Callum HudsonOdoi over the ineffective Pedro or inconsistent Willian although that is unlikely given how rigid the Italian’s tactics have been so far this season. Chelsea are 9-4 to lift the trophy in 90 minutes, extra-time or penalties with City 1-3.
Guardiola’s side are 8-13 favourites to retain their Premier League title with Liverpool 11-8 and Spurs 20-1.
By the time City walk out at Wembley, the Spanish boss should know where he stands with the Liverpool in the title race with Jurgen Klopp’s side in action at Old Trafford in tomorrow’s early kick-off.
Spurs are at Burnley today for the lunchtime kick-off but visit Stamford Bridge in midweek so this is a pivotal week for Sarri whose rigid and inflexible tactics against United in the FA Cup looked tired and dated.
Ex-Chelsea assistant boss Steve Holland, now Gareth Southgate’s right-hand man with England, watched that United defeat and he has been very well supported to be the next Chelsea boss.
Holland is 3-1 at BetVictor to be next through the managerial door at the Bridge with former Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane the 7-4 favourite, Gianfranco Zola 4-1, Frank Lampard 5s and drifting and Laurent Blanc 10s.
Manchester City to win in 90 minutes ................. 8-15
