Sunday afternoon sees the action continuing in the Premier League as the top flight saves the best for last with Chelsea taking on Liverpool at Stamford Bridge as the betting tips continue with both teams eager to take all three points here…
Chelsea Prediction – Can Chelsea make statement of intent?
After being handed a heavy 4-0 defeat away at Old Trafford against Manchester United on the opening day of this new Premier League season, Chelsea have since staged a recovery under new manager, Frank Lampard, as The Blues bring a useful looking 4-match unbeaten sequence into this potential blockbuster on Sunday.
Recent points against Leicester City at home in a 1-1 draw and a 2-2 draw at home with Sheffield United along with back-to-back victories away from home at Norwich City and Wolves respectively, have helped Lampard’s team up into 9th place, and another 3 points here would really re-set the balance at the top of the table as well as making a statement of intent from Chelsea.
The hosts stand a decent chance on paper of getting something out of this important encounter too as Chelsea are unbeaten in their last 11 matches at Stamford Bridge, but although they’re also unbeaten in their last 2 meetings at home with Liverpool, Chelsea possess different personnel this season.
It must be said that Eden Hazard carried Chelsea throughout large parts of last season but whilst the hosts possess some promising young players in the shape of forward Abraham, midfielder Mount and defender Tomori, it may be a few seasons before we see them at their best.
Liverpool Prediction – Can Liverpool stay one step ahead at top?
Similar to last season, the baton has been passed back to Liverpool by Manchester City this Sunday to see what they can do in this clash away at Chelsea following City’s rampant 8-0 demolition of Watford yesterday.
Having won their last 14 Premier League matches on the trot, Liverpool will no doubt be supremely confident of grabbing all three points in the nation’s capital on Sunday afternoon, but they did suffer a slightly surprising 2-0 defeat away at Napoli in the Champions League in midweek.
Liverpool will be hoping that this result can spur The Reds on today and do what Norwich’s defeat did for Manchester City, so we could be in for a real treat at Stamford Bridge today as Liverpool look to assert their authority once again at the top of the table.
The visitors have also won their last 6 away matches on the trot in the Premier League so despite the loss at Napoli, Liverpool know they’re capable of bouncing back in this encounter.
The attacking trio of Salah, Firmino and Mane will seek to push Liverpool back to a 5-point cushion at the top with a win here.
Key-Facts – Chelsea v Liverpool
- Chelsea are unbeaten in their last 11 matches at Stamford Bridge
- Liverpool have won their last 14 matches on the trot in the EPL
- Liverpool have won the last 2 meetings on the trot against Chelsea
Betting Tips Verdict
As to how far Chelsea’s recovery has gone under Lampard will be severely tested by Liverpool in this clash, and the visitors may well sneak the points here.
