Liverpool vs Chelsea Preview and Team News
Liverpool Team News
Liverpool enter this match following a disheartening 2-3 loss to long-time rivals Manchester United last Sunday. They currently sit fourth in the league table, and Champions League qualification remains uncertain for next season. The team have won just three of their last five games.
A major concern for Liverpool has been the inability of replacement players to fully compensate for the growing injury list.
For example, against United, they had to rely on midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai to open their scoring, while Cody Gakpo capitalized on a fortunate bounce for the Reds’ second goal.
Liverpool are dealing with several injury absences, as Mohamed Salah, Alisson Becker, Giorgi Mamardashvili, Alexander Isak, Hugo Ekitike, Wataru Endo, Conor Bradley, Giovanni Leoni, and Stefan Bajcetic are all sidelined.
Liverpool predicted lineup vs Chelsea (4-2-3-1): Woodman; Robertson, van Dijk, Konate, Jones; Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Szoboszlai, Wirtz, Frimpong; Gakpo.
Chelsea Team News
Chelsea have had very little go their way this season and are still not guaranteed European soccer for next season. They sit ninth in the table and have lost four of their last five games.
During that stretch, they have conceded 10 goals while scoring three, highlighting the team’s ongoing struggles at both ends of the pitch.
Their latest setback came in a 1-3 loss against Nottingham Forest. Joao Pedro’s late goal gave them something to speak about, but it was a poor overall performance. While Chelsea registered 21 shots, only five tested the goalkeeper. The Blues created just two big chances.
Jamie Gittens and Estevao are both ruled out with injuries.
Chelsea predicted lineup vs Liverpool (4-2-3-1): Jorgensen; Cucurella, Tosin, Chalobah, Gusto; Caicedo, Lavia; Neto, Fernandez, Palmer; Pedro.
Liverpool vs Chelsea Prediction
- Pick: Liverpool to win or draw
- Odds: -370 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Liverpool 2-1 Chelsea
We expect the game to end either in a Liverpool win or a draw. The Reds sit significantly higher than the Blues in the table and also hold the stronger historical record in this fixture.
Liverpool have avoided defeat in 30 of the last 42 meetings between these clubs. Their advantage becomes even more pronounced at Anfield, where they’ve lost just four of their 18 encounters with Chelsea.
Liverpool vs Chelsea Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: First half total – over 1.25 goals
- Odds: -127 (20Bet)
Expect an open and attacking first half with at least two goals. Both teams are dangerous in transition, which should produce a dramatic brand of soccer.
For the Reds, Gakpo (12 goal contributions) and Florian Wirtz (eight goal contributions) remain key attacking threats inside the box. Szoboszlai, who has recorded five assists in the league, should also play an important creative role in midfield.
Joao Pedro (15 goals) will be Chelsea’s target man, with support coming from Cole Palmer (nine goals) and Enzo Fernandez (11 goal contributions).
