# Liverpool: Fans react as Caoimhin Kelleher set to start Carabao Cup final

**A number of Liverpool supporters are delighted for Caoimhin Kelleher after Jurgen Klopp confirmed he would start next month’s Carabao Cup final.**

The Reds outplayed Arsenal at the Emirates on Thursday night, completing a 2-0 win to book their place in the final.

Jurgen Klopp’s men will come up against Chelsea at Wembley on February 27th, as two of the biggest teams in the country lock horns in a huge game.

Kelleher has played for the majority of Liverpool’s Carabao Cup run, [making three appearances](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/322176/Show/Caoimhin-Kelleher) and starting at Arsenal, but plenty would have expected a switch to clear number one Alisson for the final.

It looks as though Klopp will show great faith in the 23-year-old, however, confirming on Friday \[via Paul Joyce on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/_pauljoyce/status/1484655081932918784?s=20)\] that he will keep his place at Wembley.
