Chelsea Liverpool match preview

After Chelsea defeated Liverpool at the Anfield 2-1 in the third round of the League Cup three days ago the two teams will again meet at the Stamford Bridge. Before the derby the guests from Liverpool are the only team with the perfect score after six Premier League rounds, while Chelsea occupies the third place at the moment and has two points fewer than the leading Reds. Let’s add that the Blues didn’t lose last four head-to-head with Liverpool.

Chelsea

Of course, that fact only raises self-confidence of Chelsea players ahead of their Saturday’s clash, especially as last year they won Liverpool at the Stamford Bridge by 1-0. Before that they drew two times in a row at the Anfield, while last week they finally won a their stadium by 2-1 after turning the result up-side down and have reached the fourth round of the League Cup.

Now, ahead of them is more difficult job against Liverpool in the league, which won all six matches in first six rounds. Up to the previous round the Blues also had the perfect score but then they drew away with city rival West Ham 0-0. Before that, at the start of the Europa League team led by manager Sarri won away Greek PAOK 1-0. We should add that due to injuries stopper Rudiger, midfielders Loftus-Cheek and van Ginkel, and forward Pedro will most probably skip the Saturday’s match.

Probable lineupsChelsea: Kepa – Azpilicueta, David Luiz,Cahill, Alonso – Kante, Jorginho, Kovacic – Willian, Giroud, Hazard

Liverpool

We have said that the guests from Liverpool come to the Stamford Bridge as leading team in the Premier League and the only one with perfect score after first six rounds. Still, atmosphere in the changing room was a bit spoiled after above-mentioned home defeat by Chelsea in the League Cup. True, manager Klopp had rested several key players in that match but that backfired near the finish of game as Liverpool received two easy goals, while at the same time its reserve team failed to do anything useful.

We believe that Klopp wasn’t too worried because of elimination from the League Cup as his priorities this season are English championship and the Champions League, where they had a good start as they won at home French PSG 3-2. Let’s add that out of action due to injuries are still midfielders Lallana and Oxlade-Chamberlain, and forward Origi, while not fully recovered stopper van Dijk is questionable for the Saturday’s match.

Probable lineups Liverpool: Alisson Alexander – Arnold, Gomez, Matip, Robertson – Milner, Henderson, Wijnaldum – Salah, Firmino, Mane

Verdict:

After they inflicted the first defeat this season to Liverpool three days ago in the League Cup, we definitely expect from Chelsea footballers to put up a fierce resistance to currently leading team in the Premiership, behind which they lag for just two points.
