Betting tip and prediction: Liverpool – Chelsea (20.10.2024)
The matchups between Liverpool and Chelsea are always fun to follow, but it’s been a while since the two teams met when they were on top of their form. Liverpool leads the league at the moment and will have to win this game in order to stay on top. They are in an excellent run of five consecutive wins in all competitions and do not plan to stop there. Arne Slot continued where Jurgen Klopp stopped, and it is a fact that the Reds kept their playing style; they just look more fluid with the new head coach. Federico Chiesa was the biggest name who arrived at Anfield in the summer transfer window but has played only 19 minutes on the Premier League before getting hurt. Besides the Italian, goalkeeper Alisson and the 21-year-old Harvey Elliott are not available. Caoimhin Kelleher will step in between the bars to replace Alisson, and no matter how talented he is, Liverpool will be vulnerable. Unlike the Reds, Chelsea has their full roster available for the trip to Liverpool. Nicolas Jackson and Noni Madueke are the breakthrough stars for the Blues and will be the players to watch at Anfield. Chelsea was not on top of their game in the last match against Nottingham but will definitely be against the Reds. It’s been three and a half years since their last win against Liverpool, and maybe the time for another one has come. Liverpool is the favorite against anybody at Anfield, but Chelsea is capable of challenging them, and we go with a double chance on the Blues.
