Match Preview

5^th placed Liverpool welcome 3^rd placed Chelsea to Anfield on Saturday in a clash that has supporters and bookmakers equally excited. The Reds are in and around where people expected them to finish in the league this season, having won just 50% of their twelve Premier League matches since the new campaign got underway in August. Conte’s men are in the hunt for a Champions League place though retaining the title they won in 2016/17 already looks beyond them given the nine-point gap between them and leaders Man City.

In the weeks leading up to our free expert Liverpool vs Chelsea preview, the home team have been in fine form, losing just once in ten fixtures in all competitions. True to their overall form this season, Klopp’s troops only won half of that set of games, however, though they have won three Premiership matches in succession, beating Huddersfield Town, West Ham and Southampton by 3-0, 4-1 and 3-0 score lines respectively.

The Blues are in decent shape themselves as we approach our Liverpool vs Chelsea betting tips below. The reigning champions put four without reply past WBA at the weekend, putting the final nail in Tony Pulis’ coffin. The Baggies manager was sacked after the West Londoners ran riot at the Hawthorns. That victory in the midlands was the fifth win in six for Conte, whose defenders have now kept three clean sheets in a row in the league.

Liverpool vs Chelsea Prediction and Betting Advice

It’s not often you see me make a correct score prediction, but the head-to-head record between these clubs makes a 1-1 forecast a great inclusion in today’s Liverpool vs Chelsea bets. The last three times these famous clubs faced off at Anfield, the score was 1-1 at the final whistle. In fact, in five of the teams’ last seven meetings, the score has finished level.

These squads are incredibly well matched and with Conte likely to set his team up to spoil rather than dazzle, we should see an uncharacteristically low scoring match on Merseyside. The clubs last took to the field to play each other in January, when Georginio Wijnaldum cancelled out a David Luiz opener in front of a packed Anfield. Interestingly, the Reds have failed to beat any of the teams currently placed above them in the table this season. They were beaten by Spurs and Man City and could only take a point from an unadventurous Man Utd side in October. We discovered some fantastic Premier League soccer odds at 10Bet for our first pick, so our advice to make the most of them while you can.

One interesting subplot to Saturday’s clash is the prospective performance of Mohamed Salah. Salah was once a part of the Chelsea playing staff, though he was never given much opportunity to shine at Stamford Bridge. The Egyptian joined Liverpool in the summer via Roma of Italy and the winger has been in sensational form in 2017/18 for his new club. Salah is the current Premier League top scorer with nine goals and his numbers have ensured his place in our Liverpool vs Chelsea predictions.

The jinking attacker has scored eight times in his last six appearances alone for the Reds, and his partnership with Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino is both thriving and improving week on week. Salah scored twice in each of his last two Premiership outings, first at West Ham and then against Southampton at the weekend. Salah will want to show his former employers what they have been missing, so backing him to score anytime would be a clever bet to make.
