Chelsea vs Liverpool Preview & Tips

Neither side lose often and a repeat of the stalemate from earlier in the season is predicted when Chelsea host Liverpool.

Chelsea vs Liverpool FAQs

The Blues have been struggling to turn draws into win of late, and I'm tipping that continues by holding Liverpool, who have also dipped in form.

Chelsea are undefeated in 19 of their last 20 matches (all competitions).
Chelsea have drawn 3 of their last 4 matches (Premier League).
Chelsea have seen under 2.5 goals in 4 of their last 5 matches (all competitions).
Liverpool are undefeated in 35 of their last 37 matches (all competitions).
Liverpool have drawn 2 of their last 3 matches (all competitions).

Head to Head

Liverpool have an 82-65 advantage against Chelsea with 42 draws in 189 matches. Ten-man Chelsea claimed a point at Anfield in August courtesy of a 1-1 draw.

Chelsea Form

Chelsea conceded a 91st minute equaliser as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Brighton at home on Thursday.

It contined a frustrating period for Thomas Tuchel's side, who have drawn three of their last four in the Premier League.

The Blues have also shared the points with Everton and Wolves, while beating Aston Villa 3-1 in the last four games in the top-flight.

Chelsea News

Ben Chilwell, Reece James and Thiago Silva are out through injury. Kai Havertz, Timo Werner and Ruben Loftus-Cheek are all rated doubtful for the Blues.

Liverpool Form

Liverpool were below par as they went down to a 1-0 defeat away to Leicester on Wednesday. It meant the Reds slipped to nine points behind leaders Man City.

It was a third game without a win for Jurgen Klopp's side, who drew 2-2 draw at Tottenham in the Premier League and 3-3 with Leicester in the EFL Cup before winning on penalties.

Liverpool News

Andy Robertson is still banned. Adrian, Nathaniel Phillips, Harvey Elliott, Divock Origi and Thiago are all injured and will miss the game.

The match starts at 4.30pm GMT on Sunday, January 2.

Verdict

Chelsea v Liverpool

Just one point separates these sides in second and third table and they can ill-afford to lose this game. Chelsea have drawn three of their last four in the Premier League, while Liverpool have drawn two of their last three in all competitions. I'm backing this to end all square.
