Liverpool are fancied to shrug off their injury issues by beating a badly out-of-sorts Chelsea outfit at Anfield in Saturday's early Premier League fixture. The Reds were without Mohamed Salah , Hugo Ekitike , Alexander Isak and two goalkeepers for last week's trip to Manchester United , but still showed plenty of spirit in a 3-2 defeat.
Hosting opponents who have suffered six straight losses in this competition gives Arne Slot 's side a chance to quickly bounce back, and 4/5 for them to prevail here is our first Liverpool vs Chelsea prediction.

Head-To-Head
Liverpool vs Chelsea Head-To-Head Record
Chelsea were in much better form when Estevao 's stoppage-time strike helped them edge out Liverpool 2-1 at Stamford Bridge back in early October. However, on recent evidence, the Blues will struggle to avoid a third consecutive Anfield defeat, having lost 2-1 here last term after going down 4-1 a couple of seasons ago.
Another home win with both teams scoring is sure to prove popular at a BOYLE Sports price boost of 15/8.

When chasing a fourth straight league victory, the Reds did well to recover from being 2-0 behind at half-time against bitter rivals United , with Dominik Szoboszlai and Cody Gakpo capitalising on errors. However, there was no way back after Kobbie Mainoo put United back in front, leaving Liverpool still needing another win to make sure of Champions League qualification.
Captain Virgil van Dijk admits it has been a very disappointing season for the 2024/25 champions, but he is determined to see off Chelsea and clinch a top-five finish. I will be ready for it, declared the Dutch defender. I'm looking forward to it, and I am going to make sure we get this done.
Van Dijk has actually scored in two of the last four meetings between these teams, including the winning goal in the 2024 Carabao Cup final, and is 5/1 to strike again at any time in our Liverpool vs Chelsea tips.

Managerless Chelsea were once again all at sea as a 3-1 home loss to a much-changed Nottingham Forest team ended hopes of qualifying automatically for the Champions League and left them facing a fight to make either of the other two European competitions.
We need to improve, said Joao Pedro , who smashed in an overhead kick in stoppage time, which at least spared the Blues the humiliation of a sixth league loss in a row without scoring. Everyone needs to step up, me included. He added: I think the motivation is always there. We still need to fight for every point, every game, and in the end, we can see what we can achieve.
An additional worry here, though, is whether the Chelsea players will have one eye on next weekend's FA Cup final versus Manchester City . Given the Blues have conceded exactly three goals in four of their last five top-flight fixtures, let's add another price boost of 5/1 for Liverpool to prevail 3-0, 3-1 or 3-2 to our best bets on this game.
