Chelsea v Liverpool Preview and Prediction

Date/Time: Saturday 29^th September 2018 (Kick-off 5:30 PM)

On Saturday evening, Chelsea and Liverpool clash at Stamford Bridge, as the battle for Premier League supremacy continues.

Both teams have started their Premier League campaigns in excellent fashion. Liverpool have won all their top-flight games so far this season, while Chelsea have claimed five wins and a draw.

Chelsea will head into this clash with the psychological advantage having beaten the Reds 2-1 in the third round of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night at Anfield. The game may mean very little in this clash though.

The Blues last top-flight game saw a goalless draw at West Ham end their five-match winning run in the Premier League. However, Maurizio Sarri’s team are strong on home soil, winning their last three top-flight games at Stamford Bridge.

The team from south west London have also lost just one of their last six meetings with the Merseysiders in all competitions.

However, despite that poor recent record against the Blues, Jurgen Klopp’s side will be confident of a positive result in this clash. The fact that the visitors have now scored at least two goals in six of their last seven league outings will add to their confidence.

Liverpool have also won their last three league games on the road, while also finding the net at least twice in four of their five away matches.

Prediction

Home win and/or over 2.5 goals
