The Blues slumped to a damaging 3-1 defeat at the hands of Nottingham Forest in their previous game and have a point to prove this weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Liverpool, on the other hand, are in fourth place in the league table at the moment and have also been underwhelming this season. The home side suffered a 3-2 defeat at the hands of Manchester United last week and will need to work hard to bounce back in this match.<\/p>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2><strong>Liverpool vs Chelsea Head-to-Head and Key Numbers<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Liverpool have a good historical record against Chelsea and have won 87 out of the 200 matches played between the two teams, as opposed to Chelsea&#8217;s 67 victories.<\/li>\n<li>Liverpool were on a winning streak of three matches on the trot in the Premier League and had scored seven goals in these games before they suffered a 3-2 defeat at the hands of Manchester United in their previous match.<\/li>\n<li>Liverpool have conceded at least one goal in each of their last four games in all competitions, with their previous clean sheet coming in a 2-0 victory against Fulham in a Premier League encounter last month.<\/li>\n<li>Chelsea have lost each of their last six games in the Premier League, with their previous victory in the competition coming by a 4-1 margin against Aston Villa in March this year.<\/li>\n<li>Chelsea have won their last two games against Liverpool in the Premier League.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr\/>\n<h2><strong>Liverpool vs Chelsea Prediction<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Liverpool have flattered to deceive this season and face stiff competition from Aston Villa for a place in the top four. The Merseysiders were defensively poor against Manchester United and will need to present a robust front on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea have struggled in the Premier League this year and are in desperate need of a shot in the arm.
