BIG-MATCH FACTS
Chelsea and Tottenham contest the 48th League Cup final, and the second successive all-London match-up, after the 2-1 victory by the Stamford Bridge club over Arsenal 12 months ago.
Chelsea are still fighting quadruple honours, and bidding to become the first club to retain the League Cup since Nottingham Forest in 1990.
The trophy has been retained on five occasions; Nottingham Forest achieved it first in 1979, and Liverpool held the silverware for four years from 1981 to 1984.
Tottenham booked their place in this showpiece with a 5-1 win over Arsenal in the second leg of the semi-final. It laid to rest a run of 21 matches without victory over the Gunners. Now the north London survivors have the chance of a League Cup and Uefa Cup double.
Chelsea have won this competition four times; Tottenham three times. Only Liverpool (seven) and Aston Villa (five) exceed that.
Both clubs are making their sixth appearances in the final; only Leicester (10), Aston Villa (seven), and Arsenal, Manchester United and Nottingham Forest (six each already) have appeared in more.
Spurs will wear all white, and Chelsea all blue in the first Carling Cup final to be staged at the new Wembley.
