The highly anticipated return of Premier League football this Sunday brings a thrilling match between Liverpool and Chelsea at Anfield. With Liverpool leading the league after a tense 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace, and Chelsea coming off a 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest, the stage is set for an electrifying clash. Liverpool’s defense, having conceded only two goals this season, will face a stern test against Chelsea’s potent attack, which has already netted 16 goals.
Key Factors:
Liverpool’s dominance over Chelsea in their last eight meetings, dating back to March 2021, is a testament to their strength and consistency.
Chelsea’s recent performance, including a five-game winning streak before their draw with Forest, exemplifies their offensive capabilities.
Both Liverpool and Chelsea have shown vulnerabilities, with Liverpool facing injuries to key players like Alisson Becker, and Chelsea missing Wesley Fofana and Marc Cucurella due to suspensions. This adds an element of unpredictability to the match.
Betting on the total number of corners exceeding 10.5 is a promising option, given the attacking talent on exhibit and the propensity of both teams to score. This match may be decided in Liverpool’s favour due to their strong defence and home advantage, which could result in a 2-1 score.
