Liverpool will be stepping out for the first time as champions of England when they visit Chelsea in the Premier League. With four matches to go, Chelsea are looking to secure a top five finish. We have the prediction for this match below.
This is a key game in respect to Chelsea’s Champions League ambitions. Enzo Maresca’s men are coming from a comfortable away win in the Conference League, beating Djurgarden 4-1.
They have lately been finding it comfortable in attack, and the return of Nicolas Jackson has been timely. The Senegalese forward has now scored three goals in the last two matches.
Liverpool have done well in this match in recent times. They come here having beaten Chelsea in their last three meetings. The reverse clash ended 2-1, and though to them this is a dead rubber affair, the Reds will still be in for three points.
That target may be hindered by the fact Arne Slot is expected to make many changes to the team after winning the title. A number of fringe players, who haven't enjoyed a lot of play this season will get their chance here.
That changes a lot in this game as far as Liverpool wanting to keep their run against Chelsea.
With Liverpool in party mood after winning the league title, Chelsea will be at Stamford Bridge meaning business. The Blues are going for a win in their chase for a top five finish. Chelsea have been doing well in attack, and so have Liverpool, so somewhat we have the promise of goals here.
The last three meetings between the two produced 10 goals and we should expect something similar. Our prediction for Chelsea v Liverpool is for over 2.5 goals.
