Chelsea vs Liverpool: Preview and Prediction

England Premier League
Sunday 6th May 2018
Kick off at 4.30pm BST
Venue: Stamford Bridge

Match Preview:

Chelsea have not given up hope of finishing in the top 4 but they must win what will be a huge clash against Liverpool at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, in the game of the weekend in the Premier League.

Chelsea are in 5th place and six points behind Liverpool but there in lies the catch, a win here would make it 3 points and the Blues have a game in hand. Tottenham are also in the mix but they have a decent run and also have a game in hand of Liverpool and should on form finish in 3rd place. So 4th place is really up for grabs here.

Chelsea have turned around their poor form and have now won 3 games in a row and will be looking to build on confidence ahead of the FA Cup final.

Liverpool have had a fantastic week where they reached the final of the Champions League after knocking out Roma. They ended up making heavy weather of it though conceding 6 goals in the semi-final and their defence does look suspect, but going forward Liverpool has proven they are one of the deadliest in the league.

The Reds will take this game very seriously as they can’t fully rely on winning the Champions League to qualify for the competition next season. Form is not good with 3 draws in their last 4 games but Jurgen Klopp’s side have not lost in the league for almost 2 months.

Chelsea vs Liverpool Prediction:

Chelsea need to go for the victory and will be banking on Liverpool’s fatigue after travelling out to Rome and celebrating getting to the final. But Liverpool will be alert that the problem is against the very good teams their defence can get exposed. This should be a game full of goals.
