Command Analysis
Liverpool
EnglandCurrent form
Liverpool entered the new season without Jurgen Klopp. There were concerns in the forecasts that they would not be able to immediately show their best side without the German specialist. However, the management clearly made the right choice with their successor. Arne Slot did not break what had been built over the years, he brought more attention to ball control, active pressing and reliability in defense to the Merseysiders' game. This approach has fully justified itself so far.
Liverpool have been successful in all tournaments since the start of the season. Thus, in the Champions League they managed to achieve two victories over representatives of the Italian Serie A Milan (3:1) and Bologna (2:0). In the League Cup, the team defeated West Ham (5:1) in the 1/16 finals. In the Premier League, after seven rounds, Arne Sloth charges are first, with a gap of one point from their pursuers. Liverpool allowed itself the only misfire in the confrontation with Nottingham Forest (0:1), in all other matches there were victories. It should be noted that in seven matches the Reds conceded only one goal - this is an obvious merit of Sloth and his tactical schemes.
On the pitch, https://www.liverpoolfc.com target=_blank rel=noopener>Liverpool real leader is Mohamed Salah, who not only scores goals in every match, but also leads the team. Interestingly, the Merseysiders' top scorer in the Premier League is not Salah with four goals, but Luis Diaz, who has managed to score five times. It is not easy for any opponent to contain such an attack.
Disqualifications and injuries
Allison and Elliott are out today, with Chiesa in doubt.
Interesting trends for betting
- In the last three matches, Liverpool won in the first half with an exact score of 1:0
- The Merseysiders have not lost in 10 of their last 11 Premier League matches
- In seven of Liverpool previous eight Premier League games, at least one team has failed to score
- Liverpool are unbeaten in six of their last seven games in terms of shots on target
Probable line-up : Kelleher - Alexander-Arnold, Konate, van Dijk, Robertson - Gravenberg, McAllister - Salah, Szoboszlai, Diaz - Jota.
Chelsea
EnglandCurrent form
Like their upcoming opponent, Chelsea had a change of coach in the off-season. Enzo Maresca, far from immediately, but still decided on the players he would bet on, and the results came. And so far they have managed to successfully perform in all tournaments, demonstrating decent stability, something that the Londoners have not had for a long time.
In the Conference League, the "aristocrats" made it to the main tournament and started with a confident victory over "Gent" (4:2). In the League Cup, in the 1/16 finals, they easily beat "Barrow" (5:0) due to their class. The main thing is that they managed to immediately join the fight for a place in the top 4 in the Premier League. Based on the results of seven rounds, Chelsea has scored 14 points and is currently in sixth place, but all competitors have already played their matches in this round, so in case of a victory, they will be able to return to the top four. On the eve of the break for international matches, the "pensioners", however, were unable to please their fans. Nottingham Forest put a spoke in the wheel, as in the case of "Liverpool" (1:1). In that meeting, Chelsea had a noticeable territorial advantage, made 22 shots on goal, but the implementation was not up to par. However, at the moment, taking into account all tournaments, the Londoners' unbeaten streak stands at seven matches.
Cole Palmer has been brilliant, scoring six goals in the Premier League. It should be noted that this player has managed to score 44 points in the goal+pass system since the beginning of last season, which is the absolute best indicator in the Premier League. We should also note the tangible contribution to the attack performed by Jackson and Madueke, who have scored four goals each.
Disqualifications and injuries
Fofana and Cucurella are out today due to disqualification. Chukwuemeka and Kellyman are out due to injury. James' appearance on the field is still in question.
Interesting trends for betting
- Chelsea have suffered just one defeat in their last 13 Premier League matches
- In seven of the last ten games of the "aristocrats" in the Premier League, both teams scored goals
- Chelsea have won in the first half in four of their last five matches
Probable line-up : Sanchez - Gusto, Adarabioyo, Colville, Veiga - Fernandez, Caicedo - Madueque, Palmer, Sancho - Jackson.

2.20Tip and bets
In the bookmakers' line, Liverpool is the obvious favorite at home. Meanwhile, even in its worst times, Chelsea regularly imposed a tight fight on its opponent and lost in regulation time only once in the last ten head-to-head encounters in all tournaments. Now the "aristocrats" are on the move, for the first time in a long time they began to play steadily and evenly, without obvious failures. We believe that at the moment there is not such a noticeable gap in class between the opponents, as can be seen in the bookmakers' line. Taking into account the odds, we recommend betting on the guests.
Our prediction is Chelsea not to lose at odds of 2.32
Bet on total
Both teams have a powerful attack, it is no coincidence that the line shows the expectation of a large number of goals scored. However, when choosing a bet, we still rely on face-to-face confrontations, which regularly take place in a tight fight and are not distinguished by high scoring. Only once in seven previous personal meetings were more than three goals scored.
The second bet is total under 3.5 goals with odds of 1.82
Yellow Card Betting
Note that Chelsea players have not received more than two warnings in eight of their previous nine head-to-head meetings on Liverpool pitch in the Premier League. Accordingly, we recommend another option for betting on statistics taking this trend into account.
