Liverpool vs Chelsea Score Prediction – English League August 28, 2021 – Week three of the English Premier League this weekend will present a super hot Big Match duel that will bring together the Liverpool Reds squad against the Blues Chelsea, the match between Liverpool vs Chelsea is scheduled to be held at Anfield, Saturday 28 August 2021 at 10:00 PM IST.
The Reds Liverpool started their campaign in the English Premier League with perfect results, in the opening match against Norwich the Liverpool squad won with a score of 0-3, then against Burnley the Reds Liverpool team won again with a score of 2- 0, this weekend will be the first tough match for Kopp's men against Chelsea.
Meanwhile the Blues, under Thomas Tuchel, have been in perfect form since January 2021. They reached the UEFA Champions League final along with the FA Cup final and also finished 4th in the league. This year, with Romelu Lukaku, they want the league title. And for both clubs, this promises to be one of the toughest tests they will face throughout the season.
With that impressive record both clubs are in a strong position to face a continued title challenge this season, but Saturday's clash will be the first serious test of the credentials both sides face.
The Liverpool squad ahead of the match had a bit of a problem with Trent Alexander-Arnold picking up an injury at the end of the game against Burnley last weekend, but should be fine to play vs Chelsea. Andy Robertson is also back from injury but Tsimikas impressed too much to bring down. As for Fabinho, the Brazilian was sidelined for personal reasons but had to return for the game against the Blues.
Jurgen Klopp's Reds have a slightly easier schedule to kick off the campaign. Speeding up Virgil van Dijk has been a huge plus for Liverpool and his fight against new Chelsea signing Romelu Lukaku will be very interesting to watch.
The Reds have gone through their opening two games, beating Norwich City and Burnley 3-0 and 2-0 respectively. Similarly, the Blues have made an equally impressive start, beating Crystal Palace and Arsenal by the same scoreline.
Klopp now also has a nearly fully fit squad to choose from, with Van Dijk's return having particular merit, while the Reds have enjoyed an impressive recent record against Chelsea, winning four of the last five Premier League encounters.
Liverpool will have the Anfield crowd behind them this weekend. That could be the difference as both teams and managers can cancel each other out because of their quality, Liverpool's title defense collapsed midway through last season, with injuries to key players like Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez meaning they were unable to maintain the high standards we had hoped for under the wing. Jürgen Klopp.
