      Elle, 26, told talkSPORT on what she wants next: “A really huge fight like Paige VanZant or Ronda Rousey. Someone like that, but then in between I need that Astrid fight.
      “I don’t think those fights would ever work without that one because that is the money fight, that could be like a main [event].”

      I won the Champions League with Chelsea… but Carabao Cup final vs Liverpool is BIGGER, says Ben Chilwell

      He captains Mauricio Pochettino’s young side against Liverpool as the club bid to win their first trophy since Todd Boehly’s £4.2billion takeover in 2022.
      Chilwell said: “The prestige of the Champions League is obviously higher but I’d say this is more important in terms of where the club is now.
      “With the group we have, such a young group, such a new group, where there has been ups and downs this season.
      “To get this one as a team and as a staff and with the fans, it would be massive for the club and arguably bigger than the Champions League in the way we want the club to go.”

      Chilwell is still smarting from Chelsea’s recent 4-1 pummelling at Anfield.
      And he is out for revenge for defeats by the Merseysiders in the Carabao AND FA Cup finals in 2022.
      He said: “This is massive for many reasons. The fact we’ve lost to them twice in two finals.
      “We want to get revenge. Secondly, it’s a major trophy. Everyone wants to win major trophies. It’s a cup final at Wembley.

      Victory in Sunday’s final will give Chelsea a European place again after a season out — even if it is the Europa Conference League.
      Chilwell said: “Everyone wants to be involved in European football.
      “With the young team we have now a lot of players haven’t played European football.
      “It’s another step to growing as a team and experience not just playing in Europe but also the experience in playing 50-55 games a season, which we want to be doing.
      “The main focus on Sunday is to win and then the silver lining of that win is we get European football as well.” More

      Raheem Sterling buzzing to return ‘home’ to Wembley as Chelsea star targets cup record at expense of old club Liverpool

      by

      THE script is virtually written for Raheem Sterling.Chelsea’s winger holds the record for an English player with FIVE Carabao Cup final wins.

      Sterling faces his former club Liverpool in Sunday’s Wembley showdown, where Reds fans will no doubt boo his every touch.
      The game is at his “home”, as the 29-year-old grew up yards from the stadium.
      And Sterling wants to kickstart Chelsea’s taste for success as the figurehead of the new era under billionaire owner Todd Boehly.
      Sterling joined the Londoners from Manchester City in July 2022 for £47.5million — American Boehly’s first big-money signing.
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      During seven glittering years at the Etihad he won all of his five League Cups.
      And he will match the record EFL Cup tally of former Etihad team-mates Sergio Aguero and Fernandinho with six wins if he can help upset favourites Liverpool.
      Sterling said: “It would be a massive achievement to do that.
      “When you’ve had that taste for it, you always want more and this game will be the exact same thing.
      Most read in Football

      “We’ve got a great test this week against Liverpool.
      “It’s a good challenge against one of the most dominant teams in the last few years.
      Awkward moment Sky Sports interviewer botches Sterling chat after bizarrely offering to get something out of his eye
      “For sure it would mean a lot to win that trophy again.
      “I also think that first trophy would definitely build the belief for the group. If you win that one trophy it gives you that sniff, that feeling and you want more.”
      Sterling has always relished a challenge and knows all about the quality of nine-time League Cup winners Liverpool.
      Having joined the Reds as a teenager in 2010, he spent five years at Anfield, where he was the club’s Young Player of the Season in 2014 and 2015.
      But Sterling made a controversial £49m switch to City in 2015 and won ten major trophies with Pep Guardiola’s outfit as they enjoyed a gripping rivalry with Liverpool for prizes.
      The first of those was the Capital One Cup in February 2016 when City beat Jurgen Klopp’s side 3-1 on penalties after extra-time ended with the score still tied at 1-1.
      Sterling and City then won four on the bounce from 2018-21 to equal the Reds’ record for most consecutive victories set between 1981-84.
      When the 2019 final against Chelsea finished goalless, the England international struck the winning penalty too in a 4-3 shootout success at a ground close to his heart.
      Sterling dreamt of playing at Wembley as a kid — his left arm is inked with an inspirational tattoo of a young boy wearing a No 10 shirt and looking up at the iconic venue.
      Capped 82 times by his country — his last cap in the 2022 World Cup quarter-final defeat to France — he also unveiled his foundation at nearby former school Ark Elvin Academy.
      ‘THAT’S MY HOME’
      Sterling admitted playing a Wembley was “special” and told Arab News: “That’s my home. I’m really looking forward to it.
      “When I go to Wembley I get a different feeling, I can’t wait to get on the field.”
      Chelsea are looking to pick up their first trophy under Boehly’s consortium, which has seen them spend more than £1BILLION on players so far.
      The Blues have won 21 trophies since 2005, including five Premier League titles, two Champions League crowns, five FA Cups and three League Cups.

      Sterling believes they are “getting stronger” and a Carabao Cup triumph in just over 48 hours could provide the springboard to better times.
      After finishing a disappointing 12th in the Prem last season, Chelsea are tenth at present under former Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino.
      Results have been inconsistent, with an impressive 4-1 win at Spurs and draws with title-chasing Liverpool, Arsenal and City offset by losses to Brentford, Everton and Wolves.
      Chelsea also suffered a heavy 4-1 defeat at Anfield in their last meeting with Jurgen Klopp’s men at the end of last month before the 4-2 loss to Gary O’Neil’s Wanderers.
      But they responded with successive 3-1 victories — an FA Cup fourth-round replay at Aston Villa and Crystal Palace in the league.
      On his return to the starting line-up at his old Etihad stomping ground on Saturday, Sterling scored as the Treble winners needed a late Rodri equaliser to snatch a 1-1 draw.
      It was Sterling’s eighth goal of the season — one shy of last term’s tally.
      ‘WE HAVE TO KEEP BUILDING’
      He added: “I wanted to show myself against City and we were unlucky we couldn’t get the win against them.
      “We’re a young group and that performance will build confidence going forward.
      “But I’ve always said these are the challenges that we need to step up to.
      “Against some of the top-four teams this season we have shown ourselves.
      “Liverpool away was obviously a disappointing one but against Tottenham, Arsenal and City we have shown ourselves — and we have to keep building.”
      Chelsea are determined to prove that what they showed at Anfield on January 31 was not a true reflection of who they are.
      Sterling said: “The Liverpool defeat definitely hurt. We will try to do a lot better this time.
      READ MORE SUN STORIES
      “We’re getting stronger and the most important thing is to try to compete for trophies.
      “And this week we have got a great opportunity to do that and I’m looking forward to it.”

      And Jacko, 22, relives them all before lights out in his quest to become a goalscoring legend like his hero Karim Benzema.
      Ahead of Sunday’s Carabao Cup final against Liverpool, the £30million star said: “Sometimes I go to sleep watching the same videos — always thinking I should have done better.
      “Though when I was young, I saw Benzema playing for Real Madrid. I supported them when I was young and he was missing a lot of chances.
      “But, later, he won the Ballon d’Or. I’m not saying I’m at that level. I can’t be at that level now.

      “Yet I’ve seen it before so I’m not worried. I just try to improve every day and be where I want to be.”
      Jackson, who joined from Villarreal in June, has nine goals so far this term — including a hat-trick at Tottenham.
      He is now set to lead the Chelsea forward line at Wembley.
      The Senegal international admits it has been a struggle adapting to the Premier League following his switch from LaLiga.

      “He is helping me a lot and all the players in the team. We fight for him and the team.
      “It’s been tough as many people don’t understand the most important thing is us — the players.
      “But now we’re understanding and playing as a team. Everyone understands the most important thing is us, playing for the manager, club and badge.

      But he will be at Wembley on Sunday, along with sidekick Behdad Eghbali, for the Carabao Cup Final against Liverpool.
