Preview:

Liverpool take on Chelsea in this Premier League match. The match will be played at the home ground of Liverpool, Anfield. As the race to the top four brightens up, all matches will be equally entertaining and important in the Premier League. While Chelsea is at the fifth position of the table with 44 points, Liverpool are breathing under their neck with 43 points. A win for Jurgen Klopp’s men would make them eclipse past The Blues.

Key Players:

Analysis:

Liverpool have not been in their best form off-late and have a huge task ahead of themselves. Before their 2-0 win over Sheffield United, Liverpool had just won 2 out of their 11 games. A form which is nothing to be proud about. Curtis Jones scored the first goal against United for the Reds. And then an own-goal from Kean Bryan pocketed the match for Liverpool.

Chelsea are coming on the back of a 0-0 draw against second-placed Manchester United. Tuchel’s side were extra defensive in the match at Stamford Bridge and they lacked aggression at times. Tuchel has been in extravagant form as a manager. Ever since his arrival at the club, Chelsea have not lost a single game. They have won 6 games and drawn 3 games. Clearly, the transition from Lampard to Tuchel has been a smooth one. Chelsea would aim for a top-four finish this season as their race for the title seems beyond reach.
