Overview
Chelsea and Liverpool meet again in a highly anticipated Premier League clash at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea currently sits 5th in the table, showcasing decent home form with 10 wins from 17 home games. They have struggled with consistency, drawing or losing key matches. Liverpool, on the other hand, dominates the league with only two losses all season and an outstanding away record. With high-scoring ability (2.35 goals per match) and solid defense (only 32 goals conceded), they come in as clear favorites.
Historically, recent head-to-head matches slightly favor Liverpool, including a win in the EFL Cup final earlier this season. With both teams pushing for different goals—Liverpool aiming to secure the title and Chelsea fighting for top-four—this match promises tension and tactical intensity.
Team Key Players
Chelsea:
- Cole Palmer (콜 팔머): The creative force in attack, responsible for chance creation.
- Enzo Fernández (엔조 페르난데스): Controls midfield tempo and breaks play.
- Robert Sánchez (로버트 산체스): Key to keeping Chelsea in close matches with crucial saves.
Liverpool:
- Mohamed Salah (모하메드 살라): Continues to be Liverpool’s biggest threat with speed and finishing.
- Dominik Szoboszlai (도미니크 소보슬라이): Adds dynamism in the final third and link-up play.

Match Pick
Prediction: Under 2.5 goals
Both sides have key defenders in form, and Chelsea may play a cautious game. Despite Liverpool’s offensive strength, the clash could end in a low-scoring draw or narrow win due to the high stakes and pressure.
