The Premier League returns this weekend with a second round of games, with Chelsea facing Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool in a crucial match at Anfield on Saturday. This season, Chelsea has failed to live up to expectations and is currently tenth in the Premier League standings.
In their previous match, the Blues defeated Crystal Palace by a decisive 1-0 margin, and they will attempt to repeat that performance this weekend. In contrast, Liverpool is currently in ninth place in the league and has also been in poor form this season.
The Merseyside outfit crushed Wolverhampton Vagabonds by a 1-0 scoreline in the FA Cup this week and will be certain in front of this apparatus.

Liverpool vs Chelsea Prediction :
This season, Liverpool has largely failed to live up to expectations and will need to play their hearts out if they want to finish in the top four. Cody Gakpo and Darwin Nunez, for example, have not yet adapted to the Premier League, so they will need to put in a lot of effort in the coming weeks.
Additionally going through a transition, Chelsea is in desperate need of a boost. At the moment, both teams have a level playing field, so this matchup could end in a draw.
Prediction: Liverpool 2-2 Chelsea
