Match details
Liverpool vs Chelsea
Premier League
Anfield, Liverpool
23rd July, 12:45 am
Preview
Chelsea will look to guarantee their place in next season’s Champions League when they travel to Anfield to face champions Liverpool tonight.
Liverpool have not really been up to the mark since the restart. They notably lost to Manchester City and were held by Burnley. Also, they cannot reach the 100-point milestone after losing 2-1 to Arsenal away from home.
Chelsea, on the other hand, are currently 3rd in the league table and have a slender one-point lead over Manchester United and Leicester, meaning a win would be enough to seal a top 4 finish.
This could be a really tough one to call. Liverpool will look to win the trophy in style and sustain their unbeaten record at Anfield. Meanwhile, Chelsea come into this fixture full of confidence and will surely be up for it.
Match Prediction: Liverpool 2-1 Chelsea
Unavailable: Henderson (knee), Matip (toe), Clyne (ACL), Gilmour (knee), Kante (hamstring), Van Ginkel (knee)
Probable playing XI
Liverpool: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson, Keita, Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Salah, Firmino, Mane
Chelsea: Kepa, Azpilicueta, Rudiger, Zouma, Alonso, Jorginho, Kovacic, James, Willian, Giroud, Pulisic
Top picks
Salah: With just 2 games to play, Salah will look to push this Golden Boot race right down the wire.
Mane: Mane continued his amazing record against the bigger teams when he scored against Arsenal to take his tally to 17 in the league.
Pulisic: After not playing against United, Pulisic will be fit and raring to go. Back him to do well tonight.
Captaincy options
- Salah
- Mane
- Pulisic
