Chelsea vs Liverpool Preview and Team News
Chelsea Team News
Chelsea, pushing hard for the fourth spot of the Premier League table, which will ensure them a spot in the Champions League next season, host Liverpool in the 35th round of the competition on Sunday.
The Blues, who are currently ranked fifth in the league table, seemed to be one of the teams to watch out for when the season began, when manager Enzo Maresca brought changes to the side.
Now, however, Chelsea appear to be a jaded side as their long-ball tactic, in which they allow their centre-backs to look directly for their attackers with long passes, has been read extremely well by their EPL opponents.

Chelsea’s defence has been a concern for them this season, as they are known to concede big chances almost every game. They are also ranked 8th in the league when it comes to conceding xGA.
Nonetheless, with Nicolas Jackson’s return to form in their 1-0 win over Everton last week, some of their attacking worries may be solved. Having won their last two league games purely on the basis of incisive decision-making in the attacking third, Chelsea are flying high.
Still, with the likes of Gabriel Slonina, Malo Gusto, Marc Guiu, and Wesley Fofana ruled out of this encounter, Chelsea may have to field a few new faces.

Midfielder Enzo Fernández, who has been playing as an attacking midfielder of late, has delegated the responsibility of doing most of the dirty work in the centre of the park to Romeo Lavia and Moises Caicedo.
But the Argentine has also dropped deep on the odd occasion and played a vital role in distributing balls to their attackers after taking them from their defenders.
Chelsea predicted lineup vs Liverpool (4-2-3-1): Jorgensen; Acheampong, Adarabioyo, Badiashile, Cucurella; James, Fernández; George, Palmer, Sancho; Jackson.
Liverpool Team News
Liverpool, who were crowned the champions of the ongoing Premier League season after their 4-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur last Sunday, will be keen on going out on a high.
Manager Arne Slot, who is among that rare breed of coaches to have won the league title in their first season in charge, may still loath to rotate his squad and give the youngsters an opportunity.
Although Liverpool generally like to use their flanks and play with pace on the ball, they may have to slow down to adjust to Chelsea’s speed in this game.

On most occasions, the Reds like to allow their fullbacks to play on the overlap while allowing their attackers to run alongside in search of scoring opportunities in the final third. Liverpool have scored 11 goals in their last 5 matches, which means that they are in excellent form.
They have also kept the most number of clean sheets in the competition (14), and Chelsea will have to work extremely hard to breach this defence.

Conor Bradley, Joe Gomez and Tyler Morton are among the handful of players not available for selection for Liverpool in this match owing to injuries.
Liverpool predicted lineup vs Chelsea (4-2-3-1): Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo; Diaz.
Chelsea vs Liverpool Prediction
- Pick: Liverpool to win or draw
- Odds: -161 (20Bet)
- Score prediction: Chelsea 1-2 Liverpool
We expect Liverpool, who have been the best team in the league this season, to either win or draw this match. They have been among the better attacking sides this campaign, and will be closely watched by the Chelsea defenders.
Nonetheless, their opponents, who have kept just one clean sheet in their last three league outings, will be hard put to keep Liverpool’s attackers under control.
Liverpool have beaten Chelsea on 14 out of the 40 matches recorded between the teams in the past. At Stamford Bridge, Liverpool also hold an upper hand. They have beaten Chelsea on 8 out of 22 matches in the past, out of which the Blues have won just six.
Chelsea vs Liverpool Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Both teams to score
- Odds: -189 (20Bet)
Cole Palmer has the most shots on target per match for Chelsea (1.39), and usually likes to play across all positions in the attacking third despite being nominated as the central attacking midfielder. However, he will not be given much space in this game and will be closely marked by the Liverpool defenders, who operate using a mix of man-marking and zonal marking tactics.

Mohamed Salah is the competition’s top scorer (28) and will be the best player on display in this encounter. In reply, for Chelsea, Palmer is ranked 3rd in big chances created in the competition (20), and is perhaps among the most creative midfielders on offer. With so many top-class attackers on offer, we expect both teams to score (BTTS) in this high-scoring encounter.
