Liverpool Preview
Jürgen Klopp’s team arrives to this match after defeating Wolverhampton 0-1 in the FA Cup with a goal by Harvey Elliott. This win served to appease the bad moment that the Anfield team is going through these days.
For this match, Liverpool has many important absentees: Virgil van Dijk, Roberto Firmino, Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota are some of the confirmed absences for the match against Chelsea. Harvey Elliott and Darwin Núñez are still in doubt, and their availability will be evaluated until the last minute.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Alisson; Andrew Robertson, Ibrahima Konate, Joel Matip, Trent Alexander-Arnold; Fabinho, Jordan Henderson, Thiago Alcantara; Darwin Nunez, Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo.
Chelsea F.C Preview
Chelsea also arrives to this match with a great number of important players that won’t be stepping onto the field due to physical problems. Among the players that will be unavailable to play, we can mention the following:Reece James, Raheem Sterling, Christian Pulisic, N’Golo Kanté, and Ben Chilwell.
To make matters worse, Joao Felix will be serving the second of a three-day suspension after receiving a red card on his debut with the club he joined as a loan from Atletico Madrid.
At least, Chelsea can arrive to this match while going through a positive moment after winning their last match against Crystal Palace by a score of 1-0 in its last Premier League matchday.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Kepa Arrizabalaga; Marc Cucurella, Benoit Badiashile, Thiago Silva, Trevoh Chalobah; Conor Gallagher, Jorginho; Mason Mount, Carney Chukwuemeka, Hakim Ziyech; Kai Havertz.
JefeBet Prediction
Liverpool and Chelsea came into the 2022-23 Premier League season with high expectations, but both teams haven’t been able to meet their own expectations, and they have already dropped out of the title race. Still, they are now aiming to finish the campaign in European competition places, as well as fight for the UEFA Champions League, when the world’s top club competition returns in February.
To sum up, and considering each team’s irregularities, as well as the fact that their last four matches against each other in all competitions have ended in a draw, we are leaning towards the teams attaining that same result this Saturday.
Prediction: Draw (Liverpool 1 – Chelsea 1)
