Carabao Cup: Rio Ferdinand names club to win trophy this season

Rio Ferdinand has backed Chelsea to win this season’s Carabao Cup.

Chelsea made it to the final after beating London rivals Tottenham 3-0 on aggregate in a two-legged semi-final clash and now await who make it to Wembley between Arsenal and Liverpool.

On their way to the final, the Blues had defeated four Premier League teams in Aston Villa, Southampton, Brentford and Tottenham.

Liverpool and Arsenal played out a goalless draw in the first leg of their semi-final at Anfield and the second is slated for the Emirates Stadium on Thursday.

And Ferdinand, a former England defender, fancies the Blues to emerge victorious in the final at Wembley.

“I think Chelsea will win it,” Ferdinand said on Vibe with FIVE.

“I think Chelsea will win it, Chelsea know how to win cup competitions, they’ve got that about them.

“They won the Champions League, they’ve got the confidence, they know how to do it on the day, I see them doing it.”
