Due to Chelsea's habit of taking big-time opponents seriously, I predict that this match will be difficult. Despite Chelsea's lacklustre season, I believe they will play well going forward, and their match against Liverpool is likely to be one of the hardest of the week because Chelsea will not allow Liverpool to defeat them; instead, they want to win or end in a draw. On the other hand, Liverpool will want to win because they need the points to maintain their position at the top of the league.
However, Chelsea is still one of the top Premier League teams, which means matches with other top Premier League teams will be fierce because the tension of the match will be different regardless of the final result, but I think the match will still be difficult for both teams.
The current situation is that both teams are highly motivated, Liverpool want to maintain their top position in the standings and Chelsea want to quickly recover from their slump, so it is clear that a fierce match will not be avoided in this match.
The first match between Chelsea and Liverpool ended in a draw, but this second meeting could see one team emerge victorious. The only issue I have with Chelsea is that I don't always trust them; they frequently make mistakes, especially with regard to their coach, who will start players who aren't supposed to. This is the main issue that Chelsea faces, but since this match is crucial for Chelsea, perhaps the coach will start players who can beat Liverpool.
Liverpool may be a slight favorite because this match will be played at their home ground and also Liverpool's performance is currently in top form, in contrast to Chelsea who have strength but they are often unable to maintain consistency in every match they play.
Both teams will definitely give their all in this match, apart from wanting full points in this match, it is also a matter of prestige for the team and coach to be able to win the match.
