I think Liverpool are the better team on paper, but we've got to take into consideration home advantage.
Salah, Mane and Firmino just haven't "clicked" yet like they did at the end of last season. Yes, Liverpool are winning their games, but it's not the constant amazing attacks and 3-0, 4-0 wins we were seeing at the end of last season. On the other hand, Chelsea seem to finally be favoring Giroud over Morata, and the link up between Giroud and Hazard has been fantastic in the last few games.
This game could easily go either way.
They're not yet at the level of Messi, Suarez and Neymar was, but you don't need to be slaughtering teams 3/4-0 every week especially if you're getting the results which is all that matters.
I'd stay away from backing a winner in this game but maybe go with both teams to score, though maybe they will end up being quite evenly matched so there ends up being little or even no goals. I think there will be goals though, or at least I hope. It'll be the only game I watch from this weekend.
^ Even if the Zidane rumor was true, I don't think it's gonna be the right move. They need to swallow the bitter pill and realize that it's gonna be hard years ahead and rebuild.
But if they really wanted their success to continue post Fergie, then they shouldn't have made Moyes as SAF's replacement (then LVG after him)... In hindsight, they should have gone for Pep (after his hear long sabbatical) and only Pep imo.
I think the Zidane rumor is just speculation from excited fans and there's no real truth to it. I'm not saying it won't happen but I don't think Mourinho is anywhere close to done at United and I can't see them getting rid of him during this season. Maybe if they finish in a terrible place at the end of the season he'll go but unless they have a catastrophic losing streak I think he'll be here to see the league out.
