➡️ Liverpool vs Chelsea
Liverpool ~ LWLWWL
Liverpool won’t want a repeat of their last result here after the 3-2 Premier League loss in their previous game against Manchester United.
In that game, Liverpool had 62% possession and 13 shots on goal with 5 on target. For Liverpool, the goalscorers were Dominik Szoboszlai (47') and Cody Gakpo (56'). On the other side, Manchester United got 18 attempts at goal with 6 on target. Cunha (6'), Benjamin Šeško (14') and Kobbie Mainoo (77') scored for Manchester United.
It’s been a rare occasion in recent times that Liverpool have shown defensive steel. The reality is that Liverpool have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 matches, leaking 9 goals along the way. That sort of trend might not follow through into this next game, however.
A look at their previous results shows us that Liverpool:
have not beaten Chelsea in their last 2 league games.
are unbeaten in their previous 4 home league matches.
