Chelsea Preview – Can Chelsea unsettle Liverpool again?
Until the FA Cup reaches the latter stages, this once-famous competition continues to be an irritant to most Premier League teams but Chelsea have every reason to head into this cup clash against Liverpool in determined mood as The Blues have managed to register just 2 wins out of their last 8 matches in all competitions.
With another disappointing result away at Bournemouth on the weekend which saw Chelsea draw 2-2 on the south coast, Frank Lampard’s side desperately need a kick-start to their seemingly flagging campaign in the top flight as they now hold just a 3-point lead over both Manchester United and Wolves who are hot on their heels.
An FA Cup win over Liverpool could therefore prove to be the perfect tonic for Chelsea who have managed to scrape wins against Championship side Hull City in the previous round of the cup and a 2-1 win over London rivals, Tottenham.
A straight win maybe asking a bit too much but 4 of Chelsea’s last 5 meetings against Liverpool have seen both teams score.
Liverpool Preview – Can Liverpool bounce back?
A shock 3-0 defeat away form home at Watford on the weekend in the Premier League saw Liverpool succumb to their first league defeat of the season, but was also The Reds’ second defeat in three matches in all competitions following their midweek defeat away at Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.
Jurgen Klopp will therefore be expected to rally his troops for this upcoming clash at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea if nothing else, to get his side back on track and assert their authority once again over Premier League opposition.
Liverpool have now suffered back-to-back defeats away from home and the visitors will definitely want to avoid a third loss on the trot in all competitions as pride has now taken over and they won’t want any more slip-ups in what has been a magnificent season to date.
However, recent away ties in the FA Cup haven’t all gone Liverpool’s way (albeit with squad-rotation), as they’ve won just 1 of their last 6 on the road, but 5 of these last 6 away ties have also resulted with both teams scoring.
