Liverpool vs. Chelsea Betting Preview
Both Liverpool and Chelsea have had poor seasons so far. Both were tipped to finish in the UEFA Champions League places, but the pair are well off the mark right now. The Reds and Blues are both ten points adrift of Manchester United, who occupy fourth position.
Liverpool Have Been Struggling all Season
Liverpool sits ninth, only above tenth-place Chelsea on goal difference. Klopp’s troops have won eight, drawn four, and lost six, while Potter’s boys have won eight, drawn four, and lost seven. Liverpool have a game in hand on Chelsea.
The Reds nearly won the lot last season. They beat the west London side on penalties at Wembley Stadium to win the Carabao Cup and FA Cups. They were losing Champions League finalists and finished runners-up to Manchester City in the Premier League.
However, this season has been a struggle from start to finish. An opening weekend 2-2 draw with EFL Championship champions Fulham set the tone. The Merseysiders have been far too inconsistent, and last weekend’s 3-0 loss at Brighton & Hove Albion was a real low point.
Since winning four in a row, Liverpool have suffered back-to-back league defeats to Brentford and Brighton. However, they did manage to bounce back with an FA Cup win at Wolverhampton Wanderers in midweek.
Liverpool have stayed strong at home this season, suffering just one league defeat. They have won their last two at Anfield in the Premier League, edging past Southampton and Leicester City.
Chelsea are Having a Season to Forget
Chelsea are also having a season to forget. Despite his heroics during his tenure at Stamford Bridge, Thomas Tuchel was harshly sacked in September after a 1-0 Champions League loss at Dinamo Zagreb.
Potter, who did so well at Brighton, was given the Chelsea job shortly after. He made a strong start to life in west London, but the Blues have hit a bad patch of form of late.
Chelsea have won just two of their last ten Premier League fixtures, losing half of those. Still, after taking just one point from a possible nine, they did bounce back with a much-needed 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace at the Bridge last time out.

Liverpool vs. Chelsea Betting Picks
Before a ball was kicked this season, these two sides were tipped to challenge for the Premier League title alongside Man City. However, they have been poor so far, while Arsenal have pulled well clear at the summit. Both are a staggering 19 points behind the leaders at the halfway point.
These two English heavyweights know each other well, as they squared off four times in the 2021-22 season. All four meetings finished level after 90 minutes, though Liverpool went on to win both domestic cup competitions on penalties.
With neither side in good shape ahead of this one, it could go either way at Anfield. Both managed to win their last matches, but we are having a tough time picking a winner here.
The Liverpool odds of -118 are generous when you look at their home record, but we are backing Chelsea to leave Merseyside with a hard-earned point.
Check out the solid soccer betting odds of +167 for the draw and both teams to score. Also, take a punt on under 2.5 goals at +110.
