Chelsea v Liverpool preview and prediction

Date/Time:  Sunday 6th May / 4:30

On Sunday afternoon, Chelsea and Liverpool go head-to-head at Stamford Bridge, with the home side needing a win to make up ground on the visitors.

Former champions Chelsea are currently six points behind the third-place visitors in the Premier League table, having played a game fewer than the Merseysiders. To claim a Champions League spot, the fifth-place Blues have to record a win in this clash.

Antonio Conte’s side heads into this clash in good form, winning their last three outings in the Premier League. However, the home side has failed to win any of their last six meetings with the team from Merseyside.

Liverpool fresh from making the Champions League final will be distracted by their big date at the end of May. The Reds league form of late has slipped slightly, as Jurgen Klopp’s side have drawn three of their last four matches.

The visitors have also kept clean sheets in three of their last four Premier League games. The men from Merseyside have a mixed recent away record in the top-flight, winning just once in their last four matches on the road.

It is unclear if Klopp will decide to rest some of his key players with a top-four place in their own hands.

Prediction

Home win and over 2.5 goals
