Liverpool vs Chelsea

Two struggling giants of the English game face off at Anfield on Saturday, as Liverpool take on Chelsea with both clubs languishing in mid-table.

Seven Chelsea players are definitely out of the trip to Anfield due to injury, while loan signing João Félix is suspended after his debut red card in last week’s defeat to Fulham. Liverpool did pick up an FA Cup win over Wolves on Tuesday, though, Harvey Elliott’s goal earning victory at Molineux in the sides’ third-round replay. Two straight Premier League defeats have left Liverpool down in ninth in the table, and a full 10 points adrift of the Champions League places.

With both Liverpool and Chelsea desperate to kickstart their season with a win, Tipstrr football expert Sergiu Baltuta is open game at Anfield, ...

Only Manchester City (31 goals) have managed to score more than Liverpool's tally of 23 at home this season, while the Londoners are without a win in their last five away league games (Drawn 2, Lost 3). Last season, both league games between the two teams ended as a draw, 1-1 at Anfield and 2-2 at Stamford Bridge, while their two encounters in the finals of the EFL Cup and the FA Cup were both decided on penalties in Liverpool's favour after goalless draws. Only eight wins in their first 18 Premier League games is way below Liverpool's anticipated standard, while their meagre tally of 28 points leaves them in ninth spot in the league table, a worrying 10 points adrift of the top four Champions League qualifying places, and fully 19 points behind league leaders Arsenal.

Ahead of Saturday's Premier League fixture away at Liverpool, Graham Potter revealed Mykhailo Mudryk's chances of making his Chelsea debut at Anfield and ...

He’s a young player who’s got a lot of potential, a lot of upside, but at the same time he’s had some really good experiences already. I don’t like to speak about players who aren’t Chelsea players.'

Mykhailo Mudryk could make his Chelsea debut, while Graham Potter will be keen to keep Ziyech, Mount and Havertz together in attack, plus Conor Gallagher looked very good in midfield last time out. As for Chelsea, Graham Potter’s side sit in tenth place in the table and are only below Liverpool on goal difference. There is a real lack of energy, confidence and buzz about this Liverpool side right now and even though they’re in the UEFA Champions League last 16 and advanced in the FA Cup against Wolves, they just look so shaky defensively and aren’t setting the press in midfield.

A lot of things we did are things we have to do - we have to defend together, everybody. Stick with The Liverpool Offside team to keep yourself up to date with team news and match buildup, live updates, and post-match reaction. The Reds have scored more this season (scoring 34 in the league to Chelsea’s 22), but both sides have had leaky defenses, with Liverpool letting in four more goals (25) than Chelsea (21). The Reds did manage to progress in the FA Cup last time out, passing Wolves in a narrow — but more commanding — replay win. Suffice it to say, it’s been a hard season to watch for Chelsea fans, and new manager Graham Potter is under enormous pressure as things stand. Their last league win came against Bournemouth in the first game back after the World Cup break, and their previous league win was way back in October.

Two big clubs in desperate need of points meet at Anfield as Liverpool and Chelsea clash in early Premier League play on Saturday.

— He was better against Wolves in the FA Cup, however, and managed to rip off a few good shots when the rest of his teammates continued to falter. It's tough to win at Anfield though, and given these sides have drawn in each of their last four games, a draw is also a highly likely result. They dominated Crystal Palace last time out and deserved to win, and they pummeled Fulham to no profit in the match before. Both these teams are on a very poor run of form, but if you really dig deep and assess the results, it's Liverpool who should be far more worried. - These two clubs have played 285 consecutive minutes of action without a goal scored by either team, dating back to Christian Pulisic's 45th minute goal in the 2-2 draw last January. [Premier Injuries](https://www.premierinjuries.com/injury-table.php), Chelsea's 10 current injured players are the most in the Premier League. The glimmer of good news is that Darwin Nunez is back in training and confirmed to be available for selection after missing the last two matches. Goals are expected in this match, which often happens when big clubs meet, but that's not necessarily a guarantee. Chelsea, meanwhile, are 3/1 underdogs on the road. The Blues are nearly able to field an entire team of just injured or suspended players, with a host of attacking talent on the sidelines. These two clubs sit ninth and 10th in the Premier League table respectively, a far cry from where they expect to be.

WHO would have thought by the time this clash between English giants Liverpool and Chelsea came around we would be seeing a battle for mid-table supre.

That's what we've tried to do." But new [£88m signing Mykhailo Mudryk](https://www.thesun.ie/sport/football/10060347/mudryk-shakhtar-chelsea-transfer-deal-revealed-friendly-ukraine-soldiers/) is set to feature - thought might have to wait on the bench. Asked if the players who helped Liverpool beat Wolves in the FA Cup have played themselves into contention for the Chelsea game, Klopp said: "Yeah, yeah. "We are not in a casting show. Given that they are the home team, Liverpool may have a slight advantage today, but Chelsea may be fired up after the big money signing's they have made, and players will be keen to show that they deserve to stay in the side. This is the first time that the two sides have met this season, and it is shaping up to be another brilliant game, with both sides under performing so far this season. Injury problems could see it being a bit hell for leather at times, and we are going to go for the not-so-brave option of a draw - Liverpool 2-2 Chelsea. "And then when you get the red card for João Félix, who's probably the last person you think is going to get a red card in that game, you think we've done something wrong in terms of luck. "But you have to keep going and you have to deal with the bad times, deal with the tough situations, accept the criticism that comes your way and take your responsibilities. I don't think it will be right after one game to say, 'That will be the team for the next eight weeks.' Let's have a look. Boss Potter is clearly a big fan, and will be relying on the England man to get his team motoring. It's almost impossible to tell who will finally step up to the plate for Liverpool at the moment.
