Chelsea have recovered from their shock defeat against Bradford City to book their place in the League Cup final by beating Liverpool 1-0 in their last-four clash at Stamford Bridge this evening.
The two teams had drawn 1-1 in last week's first leg at Anfield, but an extra-time goal from Branislav Ivanovic sealed a 2-1 aggregate win that has set up a Wembley clash against either Tottenham Hotspur or Sheffield United.
Neither side were able to find a goal before the 90 minutes were up and the game headed into extra time.
Within moments it was Chelsea who finally made the breakthrough, as Ivanovic rose unmarked to power in a header from Willian's free kick.
Liverpool had a huge chance to draw level soon after when Jordan Henderson was picked out by Sterling's cross, but the midfielder could not direct his header on target.
It proved to be the final chance of the evening, as the Blues held on to confirm a first appearance in the League Cup final since 2007.
