Preview, Prediction, Where To Watch

Liverpool vs Chelsea is set to take place at Anfield this weekend. Both sides need a strong response to regain their form. This comes as pressure is starting to build before the game. Now, fans likely expect a tense but exciting Premier League clash on Saturday.

The Reds missed the chance to secure Champions League qualification after losing 3-2 to Manchester United at Old Trafford. Meanwhile, the Blues have also suffered another tough loss after their 3-1 defeat against Nottingham Forest at home.

Match Preview: Liverpool vs Chelsea

Liverpool’s recent league form has been mixed lately. The Reds have earned wins against top sides before suffering a tough defeat against Manchester United last weekend. Arne Slot’s side showed intent after fighting back from two goals down. But, the defensive mistakes and missed chances eventually proved to be costly. The reigning PL champions have collected 58 points and stay fourth in the points table.

Now, Anfield could once again play a key role for the home team this weekend. The Reds have taken 10 points from their last four home league matches. Although clean sheets have been difficult to find. Fans will still believe their team can still show good football in front of a packed home crowd.

Meanwhile, Chelsea travel to Merseyside in poor league form after losing six straight league matches. The west London side were beaten 3-1 by Nottingham Forest in their last game. That was another disappointing performance during a difficult period for the club.

The Stamford Bridge club has struggled badly in both attack and defence during this losing streak. They have failed to control games and have looked out of focus  whenever opponents increase the pressure. Given that, another defeat at Anfield would create even more concern around the squad and coaching staff before the season ends.

Match Prediction: Liverpool vs Chelsea

Slot’s men will likely start this match under pressure. But, their home form and attacking quality should give them the edge against a struggling Chelsea side. The Blues have been seen making defensive mistakes. So, the confidence inside the squad seems very low after six straight league defeats.

The Merseyside club are also chasing the UCL spot. Given that, a win would move them closer to a top-five finish. The west London side may still create chances  from the wings. But, the home team should have enough quality to control key moments at Anfield.

PREDICTED SCORE: LIVERPOOL 3-1 CHELSEA
