Liverpool vs Chelsea Predictions
Anfield remains Liverpool’s strongest platform
Liverpool have lost only two of their last 16 matches at Anfield and both defeats came against Manchester City and Paris St-Germain. That home stretch still carries weight even during a season that has drifted below the standards set in the previous campaign.
The Reds also have Champions League qualification firmly in sight despite last weekend’s 3-2 defeat at Manchester United. Falling 2-0 behind after only 14 minutes could easily have led to another collapse, yet Liverpool still responded and made a contest of it late on. There is still enough attacking quality in this side, even with Hugo Ekitike ruled out for the rest of the season.
Arne Slot may also have Alexander Isak and Mohamed Salah available again after both missed the trip to Old Trafford. Even if neither starts, Liverpool’s recent home league wins over Fulham and Crystal Palace both came by two-goal margins.
Chelsea arrive in a very different mood. Monday’s 3-1 defeat at home to a much-changed Nottingham Forest side stretched their Premier League losing run to six matches and the Blues have now won only one of their last ten league visits to Anfield. Interim manager Calum McFarlane continues to speak about ending the season strongly, but the FA Cup final against Manchester City may already be drawing attention away from league matters.
The Blues were beaten 3-0 in their last two away league matches at Everton and Brighton. Liverpool’s home record and Chelsea’s current slide make a bet on Liverpool to win at 1.85 appeals.

Chelsea’s attacking issues still leave room for a narrow scoreline
Chelsea have failed to score in six of their last nine matches and Cole Palmer’s drop in confidence has become difficult to ignore. Creativity has faded badly during this losing sequence, yet Liverpool have managed only one clean sheet across their last eight games.
That combination keeps the correct-score market interesting rather than straightforward. Liverpool’s defensive record has left space for opponents even during positive results, while Chelsea’s away defeats at Everton and Brighton both ended 3-0 without much attacking threat from the visitors.
Still, Liverpool’s home form continues to separate this fixture from Chelsea’s recent struggles. The Reds have won their last two home league matches by two-goal margins and last season’s meeting at Anfield ended in a 2-1 Liverpool victory. That scoreline also fits the wider shape of Liverpool’s recent games, especially after the chaotic 3-2 loss at Manchester United.
There may be periods where Chelsea offer some pressure, particularly with Liverpool dealing with injuries, but the visitors have lost six consecutive Premier League matches and confidence looks fragile. Liverpool 2-1 could be worth a look at 9.50.
