Liverpool vs Chelsea Preview
Sunday brought a wave of emotions as Liverpool took the field for the first time since Jürgen Klopp’s departure announcement. Anfield resonated with an overwhelming reception for the departing German, and his side went on to conquer Norwich City 5-2 in the FA Cup fourth round. Klopp has urged Liverpool to “squeeze everything” out of his remaining months, and the upcoming clash with Chelsea on Wednesday is an opportunity for the Reds to sustain their momentum at the Premier League summit.
Klopp boasts a current win rate of 60.8%, the highest among Liverpool managers overseeing 100 or more games. He stands as the sole Reds boss to secure victories in the top flight, Champions League, FA Cup, and League Cup. Eager to conclude his tenure with a second league title, Liverpool enter matchday 22 with a five-point lead over second-placed Manchester City, albeit having played an additional game.
On the other side, Chelsea have shown signs of improvement. Their recent 6-1 EFL Cup victory over Middlesbrough exemplifies their positive trajectory. However, facing a stern challenge at Anfield, Chelsea have grappled with road struggles, losing five of their last six away matches. Despite a 1-1 draw against Liverpool earlier in the season, the Blues are rightfully considered underdogs for the upcoming game.
Coming into this big match, Liverpool seem to be back to their best form. Chelsea will be feeling the heat, and although they seem to be on an uptick in form, Anfield is one of the most difficult places to go in Europe. Who are you backing?

Liverpool vs Chelsea Betting Tips
Bet Builder: Liverpool to win, one team to score, and over 1.5 goals @ 4.20
Liverpool have once again made Anfield a fortress. They have managed to make it a cauldron and one of the hardest places to go in Europe. Along with this, a rock-steady defence sets them up game after game.
Quick Bets: Diogo Jota to score anytime, Liverpool to win & over 1.5 goals @ 2.90
Jota has been in red-hot form lately, finding the net frequently and with clinical finishing. He will fancy a goal here at home if the Reds come out on top.
Cole Palmer to score first @ 9.50
Cold Palmer has become somewhat of a talisman for Chelsea. If they can try and get in front early, it’s more than likely to come from him.
