Todd Boehly will fly in to watch Chelsea’s first cup final since taking over the club in May 2022, hopeful that the Carabao Cup can deliver him a shiny reward in return for his £1billion outlay.
The owner was last seen at a game when his team won 1-0 against Fulham at Stamford Bridge on January 13. But Mail Sport understands the American will make an appearance at Wembley Stadium alongside Behdad Eghbali, who has largely been the man on the ground from the ownership side.
It is not known whether Boehly plans will include visiting their Cobham training ground ahead of the final to meet with Mauricio Pochettino and his players.
If Chelsea can beat Liverpool on Sunday, they will guarantee themselves a place in the Europa Conference League play-offs next season.
There has been talk of whether the club can afford to enter that European competition – given UEFA’s financial regulations are considered more restrictive than the Premier League’s – but Pochettino and his players are focusing only on winning what they believe would be a significant milestone.

Pochettino is the fourth manager appointed since Chelsea was taken over from Roman Abramovich, following on from Frank Lampard, Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter.
This season has been underwhelming with Chelsea currently 10th in the Premier League, but a trophy – the first lifted since Boehly took over the club – would lift the mood.
