Liverpool-Chelsea is a match on the eighth day of the Premier League and is played on Sunday at 5:30pm: live TV, probable formations, prediction.
After the first seven days of the Premier League no one has done better than Liverpool. If it were not for the absurd home defeat to Nottingham Forest, the only “blemish” in a streak consisting of only victories, Arne Slot’s Reds would be on a full score sheet. And instead they have to settle for being +1 ahead of title contenders Manchester City and Arsenal, who despite having fewer points are not giving an inch.
Liverpool, however, continues to win. It also did so two weeks ago just days before its Champions League engagement with Vincenzo Italiano’s Bologna, beating Crystal Palace 1-0 at home with a goal from Diogo Jota. Salah and co.’s “secret” at the moment is the defense: the Reds have conceded only 2 goals (5.2 Expected Goals, one of the absolute lowest figures in the Premier League). We will see how the defense will perform against one of the most inspired attacks so far in the English top league, that of Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea (16 goals, the second best figure after Pep Guardiola’s City). The Italian coach seems to have found a way to turn around a team that, despite heavy investment by the ownership, is back from unsuccessful seasons.
The Blues meanwhile have not lost since late August and in the Premier they did so only in the opener against defending champions Man City. And the standings could have been even better if before the break Maresca’s men had pulled off a full haul against Nottingham Forest at Stamford Bridge, capable of forcing a draw on the Londoners and breaking their long winning streak.

The Prediction
Yes, all right, Liverpool’s schedule so far has not been great but the solidity of the Reds is there for all to see. For us, Slot’s team will also come out on top against Chelsea, fresh off three away wins in a row but forced to do without two defensive pillars like Fofana and Cucurella: goals, in any case, will not be lacking at Anfield Road.
