Liverpool are pushing for a top-five Premier League finish, leveraging their strong home form under Arne Slot. The Reds have won their last two home games and four of their past six at Anfield. Chelsea, on the other hand, are enduring a six-game losing streak and struggling to find stability following managerial changes. Liverpool are best positioned to capitalize, with squad returns likely, while Chelsea cope with injuries and poor morale. The smart bet is a Liverpool home win based on current form and statistics.

H2H - Reds on Top


Liverpool have an 87-67 advantage against Chelsea, alongside 46 draws. 

Liverpool’s Home Form Key to Top 5 Push


Arne Slot’s Liverpool are closing in on a top-five finish in the Premier League. The Reds have a six-point advantage inside the Champions League qualification spots with three games remaining. 

The Merseysiders have gained most of their recent league points at Anfield, winning four of their last six home matches. 

Liverpool were on a three-match winning streak in the league, beating Fulham 2-0, Everton 2-1 and Crystal Palace 3-1. Slot’s team had over 1.14 XG in each victory.

The Reds couldn't maintain their winning form and lost 3-2 at Man United. Liverpool trailed 2-0 before Dominik Szoboszlai and Cody Gakpo scored and the Reds conceded a late winner. 

Chelsea on the Decline


Chelsea are the most out-of-form Premier League team following a six-match losing streak. The London outfit have scored once and conceded 14 during their losing run. 

The Blues have lost three consecutive away games in all competitions. A 5-2 Champions League defeat at PSG was followed by 3-0 league losses at Everton and Brighton. 

Former manager Liam Rosenior was sacked after the Brighton loss. Interim boss Calum McFarlane led Chelsea to a 1-0 FA Cup win in his first game in charge. 

McFarlane's side then lost 3-1 at home against Nottingham Forest in the Premier League. Chelsea were 2-0 down after 15 minutes and conceded a second-half third before Joao Pedro's late consolation. 

Predicted Starting Lineups & Team News


Liverpool (4-2-3-1): Freddie Woodman; Curtis Jones, Ibrahima Konate, Virgil van Dijk, Andy Robertson; Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister; Dominik Szoboszlai, Florian Wirtz, Cody Gakpo; Alexander Isak

Defenders Conor Bradley and Giovanni Leoni, midfielder Wataru Endo and goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili are injured. Attacking duo Hugo Ekitike and Mohamed Salah are also injured and unavailable. 

Goalkeeper Alisson and striker Alexander Isak are likely to return for the Chelsea match. Arne Slot was positive over the pair’s recent recoveries and said, “Alisson hasn't trained with us yet, so that makes it quite simple. 

“We're hoping for him to be ready next week, but we have to wait and see how the week will go. The same can be said about Alex - we're hoping to have him back next week.”

Chelsea (4-2-3-1):Filip Jorgensen; Malo Gusto, Trevoh Chalobah, Tosin Adarabioyo, Marc Cucurella; Romeo Lavia, Moises Caicedo; Pedro Neto, Enzo Fernandez, Cole Palmer; Joao Pedro

Goalkeeper Robert Sanchez is an injury doubt. Forward trio Estevao, Jamie Gittens and Jesse Derry won’t feature due to injury.

Forwards Pedro Neto and Alejandro Garnacho could return for the Liverpool game. 

Calum McFarlane was hopeful that Neto and Garnacho would be available after missing the Forest clash and said, “Nothing serious, just both have taken knocks in training. So we're just managing it.”

Verdict

Liverpool will want to maintain winning momentum at Anfield. Chelsea are lacking direction, conceding goals and a Premier League home win is the best bet.
