Premier League Betting Preview: Liverpool vs Chelsea

Fourth-placed Liverpool take on ninth-placed Chelsea at Anfield, with kick-off set for 07:30 on Saturday 9 May.

We can back Liverpool at -125 to get the better of Chelsea and this looks like a standout price. The Reds have won four of their last five Premier League matches at Anfield, while Chelsea are in free fall after losing six consecutive league games.

Taking into account the xG data, home advantage and the fact Chelsea’s players already appear to be on the beach, we see solid value in backing Liverpool on the Full-Time Result market.

Liverpool have landed back-to-back Premier League home victories. In their last league game, it was a 3-2 road defeat against Manchester United at Old Trafford. Arne Slot's team had most of the ball boasting 62% possession and five shots on target, while Dominik Szoboszlai and Cody Gakpo scored one goal apiece.

Chelsea suffered a sixth straight Premier League defeat when losing 3-1 at home to Nottingham Forest at Stamford Bridge last time out. The West London side enjoyed 67% possession and had five shots on goal, with Joao Pedro on the scoresheet.

Head-to-Head Statistics

Chelsea have won their last two meetings with Liverpool, recording 2-1 and 3-1 victories at Stamford Bridge. However, Liverpool won 2-1 in the most recent clash at Anfield. Overall, five of the last 10 meetings have ended in draws, with Liverpool winning three and Chelsea two.
