Chelsea has yet to secure a trophy this season after lifting the UEFA Champions League a year ago, but the Blues have one more chance for silverware this weekend and they have an in-form Christian Pulisic carrying momentum into the FA Cup Final against Liverpool on Saturday.
Pulisic has had a hand in goals in each of his last two starts, most recently scoring in a 3-0 road victory over Leeds United on Wednesday. The U.S. men’s national team star has made an impact in back-to-back matches against Wolverhampton Wanderers and Leeds United respectively, but will face a tougher test in London against Liverpool. Chelsea fell to the Reds, 11-10, in a penalty shootout of the Carabao Cup Final back in February, and overall has not defeated Liverpool since March 2021.
In England, Jesse Marsch and Leeds United face off with Brighton & Hove Albion in a must-win match at Elland Road. Duane Holmes and Huddersfield begin their two-legged playoff against Luton Town in the Championship.
In Germany, George Bello and Arminia Bielefeld will need a victory over RB Leipzig paired with other results to avoid relegation from the Bundesliga. Pellegrino Matarazzo’s Stuttgart enter the weekend in the relegation playoff spot and will need to avoid defeat to stay in that spot and not drop into the bottom two.
In Spain, Yunus Musah and Valencia face a trip to Espanyol in La Liga play while Jonathan Gomez and Real Sociedad B open the La Liga 2 schedule on Friday.
In Turkey, Haji Wright will aim to keep his strong goalscoring form going for Antalyaspor against Kasimpasa. Tyler Boyd faces his former club Sivasspor.
Elsewhere, Brenden Aaronson and Red Bull Salzburg take on Rapid Vienna. Cameron Carter-Vickers and Celtic host Joe Efford and Motherwell in Glasgow. Johnny Cardoso and Internacional host Corinthians in Brazilian Serie A action.
