Liverpool v Chelsea

Liverpool vs Chelsea Preview

Liverpool collected a third league win on the trot recently when they inflicted a heavy 4-0 defeat upon hosts, Bournemouth, last time out in the Premier League which has helped The Reds to a five-point cushion over their nearest rivals second placed Manchester City, while Chelsea also recorded their third win on the trot in the English top flight when The Blues registered a 1-0 home win against nearby neighbours, Fulham.

Liverpool may have been rocked by manager Jurgen Klopp's decision to leave Liverpool at the end of this season's campaign but the German coach has steered The Reds to a solid looking 14-match unbeaten sequence in the English top flight which consists of nine wins and five draws.

Indeed, Liverpool have been handed just the single defeat so far in this season's campaign which came in the shape of a 2-1 loss away from home at Tottenham but otherwise the merseyside club have produced a consistent sequence of results which has helped Klopp's side to pole position at the top of the Premier League table.

The bigger picture shows Liverpool have suffered just the one defeat out of their last 32 league matches in the domestic top flight which suggests the hosts may well be too strong for their London visitors on Wednesday night.

Chelsea at least occupy a top half position now in the Premier League table as the visitors achieved a third league win on the trot which came courtesy of a 1-0 home win against Fulham and followed previous wins against the likes of Crystal Palace and Luton Town respectively.

This recent improved sequence of results will have come as a huge relief for both manager Mauricio Pochettino and players alike following a disappointing run of results which yielded just three wins from their preceding 10 games overall in the domestic top flight which consisted of wins against Tottenham, Brighton and Sheffield United.

However, The Blues had also been handed five defeats within this 10-game period as well, four of which were inflicted upon The Blues on their travels with losses incurred at Newcastle United, Manchester United, Everton and Wolves respectively.

Indeed, such has been Chelsea's ordinary string of results so far this season and prior to that in the latter stages of last season as the visitors have managed to capture just four wins from their previous 12 outings on the road whilst also slipping to seven defeats in the process as well.

Liverpool v Chelsea Verdict

Liverpool are unbeaten in each of their last seven meetings against Chelsea and although the draw has featured prominently in previous exchanges between these two clubs with no fewer than five stalemates within these last seven fixtures, Liverpool's solid run of results should see them over the line here.

Therefore, our main bet will be Liverpool win @ 1.57
