Chelsea v Liverpool FA Cup Final betting is what is on the cards for the Wembley showdown for May 5th. Kenny Dalglish’s men overcame Merseyside rivals Everton thanks to Andy Carroll’s late headed winner. That settled the first of the two semi finals, and then Chelsea conquered Tottenham in the London derby at Wembley on Sunday to book their place alongside the Reds. After their convincing semi final win, Chelsea have been installed as favourite now to win the FA Cup, currently at a market best price of 7/10 at Boylesports, with Liverpool behind at 5/4 with Bet365.

Liverpool have already shown their Cup pedigree this season, beating Cardiff in the final of the Carling Cup this season. So, while the Reds have had a hugely disappointing league campaign, they are in line for a good cup double. Chelsea’s triumph over Spurs kept their challenge up for both the FA Cup and the Champions league double. Liverpool last won the FA Cup back in the 2005/06 season, when they beat West Ham, while Chelsea have won the cup in three of the last five seasons. So it is Roberto Di Matteo’s men who are heading the betting for Chelsea v Liverpool FA Cup Final betting.
