4 Liverpool Wins in a Row

Liverpool have won 4 consecutive matches.
Liverpool have won 2 of their last 3 home games against Chelsea.
Chelsea have lost 2 of their last 3 away matches.

H2H - Reds Advantage

Liverpool have an 87-67 advantage against Chelsea, alongside 47 draws.

Liverpool Looking Sharp Under Iraola

Liverpool have winning momentum after securing eight victories from their previous 10 fixtures. The Merseysiders have won four home games in that period.

The Reds have won six of their last seven in all competitions, including a 3-1 EFL Cup home win over Tottenham.

Iraola’s side have also sealed four consecutive victories in all competitions. They comfortably beat LASK 6-3 before defeating Brentford 2-1 away and Villarreal 4-3 at Anfield.

Liverpool’s winning streak continued with a 2-0 Premier League home triumph against Brighton. The Reds led after 21 minutes through an own goal and Alexander Isak’s strike and had 1.2 XG.

Chelsea Lacking Consistency

Xabi Alonso’s Chelsea have struggled for rhythm in 2026/27. The London outfit are winless in four of their last seven games.

The Blues came back from 2-0 down and beat Leeds 6-3 at home in the EFL Cup third round. Alonso’s side then drew 2-2 against Hull and lost 3-0 at Brentford.

Chelsea notched back-to-back league wins after the international break. A 5-1 home win against Bournemouth was followed by a 2-0 victory at Everton.

The inconsistency continued on Saturday following a 2-0 home defeat against Tottenham. Chelsea had -1 XG, faced 15 shots and conceded twice in the final 15 minutes.

Predicted Starting Lineups & Team News

Liverpool (4-2-3-1): Giorgi Mamardashvili; Ronald Araujo, Jeremy Jacquet, Joe Gomez, Milos Kerkez; Trey Nyoni, Alexis Mac Allister; Cody Gakpo, Rio Ngumoha, Bradley Barcola; Lewis Koumas

Midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai and winger Victor Munoz are ruled out. Defenders Jeremie Frimpong, Conor Bradley and Giovanni Leoni and striker Hugo Ektike are also injured.

Florian Wirtz was subbed off with an ankle injury against Brighton and is doubtful here. Andoni Irola provided more detail on the midfielder’s injury post-match and said:

“Unfortunately, he had to leave the pitch with a small twist of the ankle. It doesn't look big, but we'll see.”

Chelsea (4-2-3-1): Mike Penders; Malo Gusto, Maxence Lacroix, Wesley Fofana, Marco Palestra; Romeo Lavia, Jordan Henderson; Valentin Barco, Morgan Rogers, Estevao; Danny Welbeck

Goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez and defenders Pep Chavarria and Reece James are unavailable due to injury. Attacking duo Jamie Gittens and Emmanuel Emegha are also sidelined with long-term injuries.

Joao Pedro was a surprise omission against Tottenham and is unlikely to feature here. Xabi Alonso confirmed the injury and said the striker requires further tests to assess the “whole seriousness of the injury.”

Verdict

Liverpool v Chelsea

Liverpool are a strong side and look confident after a recent winning streak. Chelsea are a patchy team and a home win in the EFL Cup has good value.
