The highlight match of round 7 of the Premier League will witness a fierce clash between Chelsea and Liverpool. Although playing at home, The Blues are still considered a slight underdog when hosting the top team Liverpool.

Despite a crucial 1-0 win over Benfica, Chelsea's overall form is alarming. Coach Enzo Maresca's team has lost 3 of their last 5 matches.

The personnel problem is even more difficult when center-back Chalobah is absent due to a red card in the match against Brighton. In addition, there are a series of injuries, especially the absence of star Cole Palmer.

The situation of the away team Liverpool is not very bright. Although still holding the top position before round 7, Liverpool's performance is slowing down in a worrying way. They have just suffered two consecutive defeats: a 1-2 loss to Crystal Palace in round 6 of the Premier League and a weak 0-1 loss to Galatasaray in the Champions League.

Like his opponent, coach Arne Slot is having a headache with a long list of injuries. The latest is the absence of number one goalkeeper Alisson Becker. The Dutch coach's task is not only to revive the team's spirit, but also to find a solution to use talented rookie Florian Wirtz most effectively.

With those uncertainties, the bookies still favor the away team when Liverpool concedes 0.25 goals to Chelsea. Notably, due to the lack of solidity in both teams' defenses, the over/under of the match is pushed up quite high, at around 3 goals.

Head-to-head history shows that there is no significant difference between the two teams. In the last 5 encounters, Liverpool is slightly better with 3 wins, 1 loss and 1 draw. Notably, both teams have maintained an unbeaten record when playing at home.

This match is extremely important for both teams. Liverpool need points to consolidate their top position, while Chelsea are desperate for points to return to the top 4 and keep their hopes of chasing the championship alive. This is expected to be a tit-for-tat match with many goals scored by both teams.

Expected lineup:

Chelsea : R.Snachez, R.James, Achempong, Badiashile, Cucurella, Lavia, Caicedo, Estevao, Enzo Fernandez, Neto, J.Pedro.

Liverpool : Mamardashvili, Kerkez, Van Dijk, Konate, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Gravenberch, Gakpo, Florian Wirtz, Salah, Isak.

Prediction : Chelsea 2-2 Liverpool.
