Liverpool Vs Chelsea Player Ratings : Expected line-ups | Prediction

 

Liverpool Vs Chelsea Player Ratings : Chelsea beat Liverpool, as a visitor, in a match valid for date 27 of the Premier League, and climbed the table. With 47 points they placed fourth in the standings, displacing Everton, who also won this Thursday. Pep Guardiola's City is still the super leader. He has 65 units and his closest pursuer is United, which has 51.

There are three changes to the side that began the draw against Manchester United last time out.




Liverpool Vs Chelsea Player Ratings : Live Updates

Timo Werner will lead the attack in place of Olivier Giroud and Jorginho comes in for Mateo Kovacic alongside N'Golo Kante. 

Reece James is preferred to Callum Hudson-Odoi at right wing-back. 

By making his 411th appearance for the club tonight, Cesar Azpilicueta becomes our 10th all-time highest appearance maker.

Ahead of kick-off, Thomas Tuchel explained his selection. 

‘We need speed against a high line and Timo has the speed so this is why he’s in,' he said. 

‘When the game becomes maybe more deeper and we have more crosses or set-pieces then it’s more for Oli [Giroud] but to start with it’s Timo.

Team news

Liverpool have confirmed that they are set to welcome Alisson Becker back into the starting eleven after he missed the win at Bramall Lane last week following the death of his father.

Fabinho is also set to make his long-awaited return after recovering from a muscle injury and he could start in defence with centre-backs Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip all along-term absentees.

Jordan Henderson is also out for the champions after groin surgery but Diogo Jota should be back in the squad after missing the Sheffield United game through illness.

Prediction

Liverpool 1-1 Chelsea: Thomas Tuchel has made Chelsea a lot more solid since replacing Frank Lampard but this will be one of his sternest tests yet. Liverpool have been in woeful form of late, even at Anfield, but Klopp will hope the win at Sheffield United will get them back on track.

This fixture was packed with goals last year as Liverpool ran out 5-3 victors but we aren’t expecting another thriller this evening as Chelsea have been solid at the back under Tuchel and the Reds aren’t firing on all cylinders going forward.

Both teams desperately need a win in order to climb above West Ham into the top four but avoiding defeat is just as important for both clubs. For that reason, we expect a cagey game which could end up in a draw.
