# Pundit makes ‘frightening’ Liverpool attacking admission

Former Premier League striker Gabby Agbonlahor has made a ‘frightening’ admission regarding the [Liverpool](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2022/02/25/virals-liverpool-interested-in-championship-starlet-djed-spence/) attacking prowess.

The Reds were at their rampant best in midweek as [Mohamed Salah](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2022/02/24/opinion-mesmerizing-liverpool-star-mohamed-salah-the-pick-in-epl-rout/) and Sadio Mane each bagged a brace in a 6-0 victory over Leeds United.

Jurgen Klopp will be without one key attacker for the Carabao Cup final as Roberto Firmino is [forced to miss](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/roberto-firmino-and-diogo-jota-injury-latest) out at Wembley.

However, speaking to [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/liverpool-news-pundit-issues-frightening-claim-after-diogo-jota-and-roberto-firmino-injury-updates/), Agbonlahor has suggested that Liverpool now have more than enough firepower to cope.

> They’ve got the numbers to be able to cope. Mane, Salah and Diaz is a scary front three. That’s just frightening. Chelsea will not have much experience of playing against Diaz so that’s going to be a bit of a new one. I think Liverpool will win that final, I really do. It’s a good test for a Champions League final, that could easily be the Champions League final this season. It’s going to be a fascinating game and I can’t wait to watch it.

Portuguese forward [Diogo Jota could be available](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10547033/Diogo-Jota-track-feature-Liverpools-Carabao-Cup-final-against-Chelsea.html) to Klopp but is likely to start on the bench having missed the previous two matches.

So far this season those known to be ready for the clash have contributed a staggering [70 goals](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fc-liverpool/leistungsdaten/verein/31) in 131 combined appearances.

### READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT

Spot on.

Having seemingly been bereft of options midway through January with [Salah and Mane at AFCON](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/mohamed-salah-sadio-mane-afcon-22926167) and Divock Origi sidelined, all of sudden Klopp is spoilt for choice in the attacking department.

Whilst the absence of Firmino will be a blow, those available are [firing on all cylinders](https://www.skysports.com/liverpool-results) and Chelsea will be all too aware of the upcoming challenge.
