Liverpool vs Chelsea Predictions, 25 Nov 2017
The Match Is Over. Score:
1-1
Liverpool v Chelsea Predictions for Saturday's evening kick-off league fixture set to see Liverpool host a Chelsea side at Anfield Road. Liverpool host Chelsea in the 167th game between the two sides! A classic in modern times, where the Anfield-based outfit historically have a slight edge (W71, D42, L53).
Liverpool's last win against Chelsea at Anfield was a resounding 4-1 victory in 2012. Five years later, Jordan Henderson is the only player still playing for his club.
Both teams feature some in-form players. Mohamed Salah’s brace against Southampton took his tally to nine goals in the Premier League (PL), making him top-scorer in the league after 12 games. Philippe Coutinho is also in fine-form since his return, with ten goals and four assists in his last 16 matches.
For Chelsea, a return to form for Eden Hazard signals good times ahead for The Blues. Bagging two against the Baggies last weekend, he’s now got four in his last five in the league - and he also scored against Qarabag in midweek.
Watch out Liverpool! Under Antonio Conte Chelsea have won all 16 PL games where the Belgian has scored. The big star for The Blues so far however, is Alvaro Morata who has scored eight and assisted four goals in his first 12 PL matches.
Liverpool have four wins in their last five matches in all competitions, and have looked especially good going forward (16 goals in those five matches). However, they may not be filled with confidence after letting a 3-0 lead slip against Sevilla in midweek (3:3). Chelsea recorded a comfortable 4-0 win in the Champions League in midweek, but might be worried by having one day less to rest and prepare following a considerable travel distance.
Chelsea: Courtois - Cahill, Christensen, Azpilicueta - Alonso, Bakayoko, Kante, Fabregas, Zappacosta - Hazard - Morata (3-5-1-1 formation)
Chelsea: Michy Batshuayi and Victor Moses are set to miss out on the travel to Merseyside these weekends.

Journalists suggested after the collapse in midweek that Liverpool struggle mentally when trying to secure a win, to which Jurgen Klopp replied emphatically; "Could we have done better or had more experience? 100% yes. Is this about a problem with mentality? 100% No".
