Liverpool vs Chelsea Tips, Premier League Predictions & Odds
Liverpool usher in the weekend’s action when they lock horns with an out-of-sorts Chelsea in the Premier League lunchtime kick-off at Anfield on Saturday.
While the Reds slipped to a 3-2 defeat away to Manchester United last Sunday, Chelsea crashed to a 3-1 loss at home to Nottingham Forest the following day, and they are in freefall.
What should we expect from this showdown? We’ve handpicked a few betting tips to ponder ahead of the game.
Liverpool vs Chelsea Tips
We’ve scoured the markets and handpicked three football betting tips to consider for Saturday's Premier League clash along with our best free bet offers.
Tip 1: Liverpool & Over 1.5 Goals
By their inexorably high standards, it has been a disastrous season for Liverpool, and the defeat to United marked their 18th in all competitions this term — only on three occasions have they lost more in a single campaign.
However, the visit of Chelsea might alter the mood music. Despite the Blues prevailing in the past two league encounters (both at Stamford Bridge), the West London outfit have only won one of their past 10 league trips to the red half of Merseyside (D5 L4).
Let’s also mention Chelsea’s bluntness in front of goal, as they have netted just once across their past six league outings, illustrating their shortcomings.
Chelsea have lost their past six league games on the bounce, and they are looking to avoid the ignominy of seven defeats in succession for the first time in over 50 years.
While Liverpool have been hugely inconsistent, it’s hard to make a case for Chelsea. This game has often supplied goals, and for my first pick, Liverpool to prevail and Over 1.5 goals across the 90 minutes has piqued my interest.
Tip 2: Cody Gakpo Over 1.5 shots on target
Given Liverpool were bereft of Mohamed Salah, Hugo Ekitike, and Alexander Isak, they made a good fist of things against the Red Devils. Cody Gakpo, meanwhile, frequently slides under the radar, but he is often highly effective.
This season, he has chipped in with seven goals, and his expected goals (xG) rate is 7.71, which is impressive. He scored in the corresponding fixture against Chelsea earlier in the campaign, albeit it came in a losing cause.
Nevertheless, I fancy the Dutchman to keep the Chelsea goalkeeper busy, and Over 1.5 shots on target is worth tapping into.
Tip 3: Liverpool full-time result, Cody Gakpo Over 1.5 shots on target, Chelsea to hit woodwork
Kick off your bet builder with the Correct Scoreline. City have won 3-0 and 3-1 in two of their past three visits to Everton, so a 3-0 away victory is appealing.
Haaland, as mentioned, has been lethal for City, and he relishes facing Everton. A goalscorer special of him to score two or more has legs.
Round things off with Rayan Cherki to sprinkle some stardust on proceedings. Cherki has weighed in with 10 league assists this term, and an anytime assist has piqued my interest.
