The fact that Alisson is not playing is a really important factor. Liverpool's second goalkeeper is very inexperienced and perhaps needs a few games of experience. It could be really difficult for Liverpool now, even if they are playing at home. Chelsea is in good form at the moment and have a chance to win for the first time since years. Nevertheless, I would rather bet on a draw.

Do you know about the record for the Liverpool vs Chelsea match at Anfield?
Liverpool and Chelsea tend to draw at Anfield, especially for Premier League matches. Liverpool has slightly more wins than Chelsea, but 2 matches in the last 5 matches. Liverpool and Chelsea have 2 draws in their last 5 matches at Anfield and Chelsea have 1 win between them, the rest are draws.

In my opinion, a draw has a higher probability for this match, but Liverpool deserves to be the favorite considering they are playing at home and are also trying to maintain the top of the standings. Liverpool's mistakes in this match will open the way for Manchester City and Arsenal to lead the standings, so they have to be careful.

Is not going to be easy playing against Chelsea who are some how inform with their forwards doing well for the club. Playing at home these days doesn't matter in the World of football, you see the host losing like they don't have what it takes to hold the visitors to a draw or even get a win and talking about Anfield the Liverpool home, there is like a fortress and getting a point is never easy depending on how they play out the game with the fans making it more difficult for opponents. But you'd agree with me that Slot is living up to expectation but making Anfield a very difficult place for any opponent.
Becker's absence won't affect the game in any way and Álisson hasn't been to sharp in some games but I don't feel he'd be missed in anyway but I expect a win for Liverpool. All Chelsea fans sees the little man Palmer as their god to deliver them but it may shock them to see Chelsea lose with Palmer on the pitch.

Chelsea is a serious team now that we need to put into consideration, we cannot underrate them against Liverpool just because Liverpool is leading the Premier League table.

Chelsea is in good form, the Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca wins the manager of the month and Cole Palmer wins the player of the month due to the great effort the team put in place this season; and the draw they played against Nottingham Forest should also not ne used to make decision because they will want to bounce back stronger.

This match is part of the main test for Arne Slot, he will also want to win the game to maintain their position in the Premier League because if they loses the match, either Manchester City or Arsenal might take the lead. The match will be difficult to predict but I believe all the teams will want a point, therefore, it can end in a draw.

This is why I love the ideology of coaches such as Ancelotti. He's smart and knows how to strategically set up a first 11 team for his club and still have a full second 11 team to perform well. While some managers are overwhelmed using certain players all the time, Ancelotti has alternatives that he can deal and shuffle when the need arises.

I feel like Chelsea needed the likes of Osimhen in the team because it is one of Osimhen's dream to play for elite European clubs like that. He's an ambitious player who has always worked hard to hold his ground throughout his career in the Serie A. I know he will also work his way to gain success in the Premier League but more importantly, he will become more popular being a European league like the Premier League.

Liverpool FC has had a good run of results at home in Anfield. Being undefeated in their last five home matches will surely boost their confidence when they square it out with Chelsea at Anfield; after all, known as a fortress difficult to breach. This, I believe, will give them added motivation to ensure they keep their dominance at home.

It is the atmosphere at Anfield, plus with the full backing of their supporters, Liverpool can get that advantage well claimed. Chelsea might have a say in how the game is going to be played but based on how the home performance has gained maintenance over the last season, it is going to be comfortably one more game that they are better at and have a higher chance of winning.

Also scheduled for that day is a match between Manchester City and Wolverhampton, a game that should most probably end in favor of Manchester City. On the previous day, Arsenal is scheduled to play against Bournemouth, a match that is also seen ending in the favor of Arsenal. If indeed each of them gets three points apiece out of these fixtures, then the race at the top of the standings gets even tighter. The points difference is very small, so Liverpool really must be able to beat Chelsea at Anfield, because if they end up losing or drawing, it is likely that their position will be shifted by Man City and Arsenal.

Best Player and Best Manager of the Month goes to Chelsea. It’s been an awesome month for Chelsea in the Premier League. And to think Cole Palmer might just win goal of the month with that free kick is unreal. We are waiting to see if that is going to happen. Chelsea has picked up the pace from last season, their growth under Enzo Maresca is impressive, they are actually contending for the league this season.  

Yes, in week 8, the highlight is the Liverpool vs Chelsea match. On paper, The Reds are favored and most importantly they want to maintain their top position, but on the other hand, Chelsea are in good form. Maresca was named the best manager of the month and Cole Palmer as the best player, indicating that they should not be underestimated. Arne Slot's squad will not easily pocket 3 points at Anfield later even though they are acting as hosts. I think the match will be more aggressive because both are big Premier League clubs.

I think Liverpool clearly has an advantage here. My take is that they are a 60% to 40% favorite and of course there is still a possibility for a draw, but I would say that their probability of winning is significantly above 50%. Chelsea does have a decent record this season for games away from home as it is a clean 3/3 with 9 points. But the opponents were West Ham, Bournemouth and Wolverhampton, ranked 12th, 13th and 20th respectively.

Now Liverpool doesn't have a clean sheet at home this season because they spectacularly lost the game against Nottingham, but I am sure we agree that that was more of an unfortunate incident than a well deserved loss because they played a bad game.

We understand the productivity of the front line Chelsea currently got but it doesn't displace the fact that a striker will be needed and will be useful if they get one so i wouldn't agree with you completely saying osimhen will be out rightly and completely not needed if he was to be brought to the team, i think it will even help the most because he will reduce the work load on the attackers who now substitute for a false strike just like we did see with Madrid seasons agog before the arrival of mabappe, so they do need a striker.

To be honest, Liverpool are indeed more worthy of being the favorites, because they have performed more consistently than Chelsea at the moment. However, the match will certainly not be easy for both teams, because apart from everything, this is a match between two elite Premier League teams. Chelsea sometimes play very solidly when facing fellow big teams, but not infrequently they also often lose points when facing mediocre teams. This will be beneficial for Liverpool, because it can be interpreted that Chelsea are not in their best form. Chelsea chances of beating Liverpool are still open, but the chances are relatively low. Man City and Arsenal certainly hope that Liverpool lose points, so they can climb to the top of the standings.

There are four points between Chelsea and Liverpool, but Chelsea have played City and Liverpool have not. Otherwise, both clubs have an unusually light fixture list at the start of the season, which is why they are at the top of the table. Now, when difficult games begin, it may turn out that someone is superfluous here and is not rightfully taking their place  And judging by the bookmakers' odds, they consider both of these clubs to be impostors of sorts.

I don't see Chelsea football team as a winner of this match because their performance is not best as comparison to Liverpool .  Liverpool has more chances of win and they will give all effort to win this match . That match could be draw because If both teams did 1 ,1 goal then goal will be equal and no team will win this match. But any team can play well in one day but in next match that team can lose , So we are not judging the players with hundred accurate . If chelsea team played with same players as they choose,then they can give tough time but I am not telling Chelsea as favorite team.Liverpool is playing with confidence and has mord chances to win the match in next Sunday.

I don't believe Becker absence will have an impact on Liverpool's match against Chelsea, the goalkeeper absence cannot decide the outcome of a game, it depends on the quality of the player's performance on the pitch. This will not be a difficult game for Liverpool because I have yet to see Chelsea at the top level that they can compete with top teams in the Premier League. Chelsea is getting better, but I do not believe they will win against Liverpool as we think, Liverpool players will not allow their opponents to score goals without preventing them. Do you believe Palmer's performance could be a threat to Liverpool players? Chelsea can only win by a lot of goals, and Palmer can only score four goals against an average club, he can't do that against big teams, but he can score one.

However, we saw Liverpool humiliate Chelsea 4:1 at home last season, and you believe Liverpool will lose against Chelsea. Despite the fact that Chelsea has signed a new manager and gathered more players, I am not confident that they will win their next game if Liverpool does not win, or the match ends in a draw.

Maybe you should do some background check On Maresca and you will know he is above the sky where Pochettino will not even talk, he has a tracked record across many clubs and he had few trophy with them unlike Pochettino that was picked from the street lol. No shade, Maresca is bigger than Pochettino and what Chelsea is getting now is deserved and well analyze before they brought him otherwise they will just be struggling again for another 6 months of the season.

My only fear now is not to lose to Liverpool, they are going to meet Arne Slot at home and they haven't had any lost in their last match and since they are equall fight to stay at the top of the tree, the battle is going to be a fierce one because if Chelsea lose too, the are going to definitely drop from the top 4 where they are right now, Aston Villa are just waiting for small opportunity they can use to come close to Arsenal which I don't doubt them.

Enzo Maresca’s managing directives this season has been so good and that is what has kept Chelsea in a very good position on the standings now. They have a very long period to keep us with the performance this season before they can be envisioned for some kind of positions in the league. They are not playing in any European competition and this will give them the zeal and strength to compete for the top spot in the title race. For now, their performance is great and by adding Osimehn to their attacking line by next season, it’ll indeed strengthen their attack and could bring them more possible goals in the season.


Chelsea’s performance have improved this seasons and for them to be on the position they are now, it shows that they’re a worthy opponent that will give Liverpool a very tough time before they can win the match if at all they will. I will not want to say Liverpool can confidently win the match because they are on the first position on the league. Things football and anything can happen, also base on the performance Chelsea is exhibiting now, Liverpool don’t stand a chance to win easily.

Chelsea is now consider to be the best club in London, they're leading when it comes to race of winning titles and major ones for that category. Chelsea are put 4th position this season, they're having a smooth run and I'm proud of my club. This is extremely a good time to be a Chelsea fan, don't you think? With the likes of these new players signed by the board, I think they can actually comprehend and achieve their goals. Not just any random average players, we're talking about players like Cole Palmer, the current best player in England, Nicolas Jackson, Christopher Nkunku, Noni Madueke, there are more of them to mention but to list out a few. I'm enjoying every bit of Chelsea game where a draw now becomes defeats for them, mentality entirely changed under the new coach.

Enzo Maresca is blessing to Chelsea football club this season. First of all, the supporters were wearing frowning faces when the board appointed Enzo Maresca as headcoach, they claimed the coach was incompetent and not fully experienced to handled an elite club but looking at him today, they're the ones applauding the coach for a job well done for the Blues.

This is not going to be hard game for Liverpool, maybe it'll be such a tough game for the both sides, and untill Enzo Maresca takes quality points from clubs like Liverpool and other top sides, then we can now say they'll successfully finish amongst the first four clubs in the premier league standing. Siding with Chelsea because Liverpool lost Becker is no wise decision. If the defenders can step up and shield the goalkeeper during the game, then they're not losing. Don't forget they have such a great combination from Van Dijk and Konate. Why's it always bout Cole Palmer?!   Finally, let the best side win or draw!

I noticed the change in the team after Maresca came to Chelsea in the few games I watched. Maresca seems to be changing something in the team. Chelsea likes to have the ball in the game. That's why they attack better but they need to solve their defensive problems. If they solve their defensive problems then Chelsea's wind will start blowing and Maresca's career could take off. But Chelsea's biggest problem is that they have a terrible transfer policy.

In recent years Chelsea have sold top players like Kovacic, Havertz, Sterling, Gallagher, Lukaku, Jorginho, Kante, Rüdiger, Pulisic to other teams. They replaced them with inadequate players. They also occasionally give time to players like Renato Veiga, Cesare Casadei, Marc Guiu, who are unknown and below average. What's interesting is that they bought these players for very high wages. Chelsea are thus guaranteed to fail in the future. Liverpool and Arsenal spend much less money and build better teams every year.
