But in this match I will bet Liverpool to win. Even though it's Chelsea's home match, I consider Liverpool favourites. In this match, Chelsea are not getting two important players in their squad, Nkunku and Fofana. Besides, I don't see any good performance from Chelsea in friendly matches. They could not win against Newcastle and Dortmund. Both the matches were drawn. The overall condition of the Chelsea team is still not stable. For these reasons, I consider Liverpool as the favorite.
In the friendly match played by Chelsea, I saw the opposite of what you see. From the five matches they played, Chelsea won 3 wins, 2 draws (against Dortmund and Newcastle) and never lost.
This is a good achievement that Pochettino can evaluate in implementing a strategy against Liverpool in their first match of the season.
