Chelsea - Liverpool match score prediction: Home team's determination

Chelsea remain focused on securing a Champions League place, while Arne Slot's Reds approach the game with a more sedate approach after celebrating their title triumph at the weekend. Chelsea are currently fifth in the table but Aston Villa have caught them on 60 points, so if they fail to beat Liverpool, they will also be overtaken by Nottingham Forest (if they beat Crystal Palace in the late game).

Both Wesley Fofana and Marc Guiu are still in the recovery room but there are no suspended players in the home team. Chelsea will have to struggle to get points against Liverpool despite not winning any of their last seven meetings.

Liverpool don't have much to play for tonight and with Chelsea needing points, it's likely the league leaders will go home empty-handed. Diogo Jota, Curtis Jones and Darwin Nunez are all pushing for a start, while Joe Gomez remains in the treatment room. Conor Bradley is a major doubt and will be assessed before kick-off.

Earlier this season, Liverpool beat Chelsea 2-1 at Anfield and another high-scoring game is expected.

The odds of Chelsea accepting half a goal and losing money (winning only 82) is quite strange considering the balance of power between the two teams. But Chelsea must win this match if they do not want to be overtaken by Nottingham Forest. In the last 3 rounds, Chelsea will have to face Newcastle, Manchester United and then play at Nottingham.

So they put all their determination into this match to compete for a Champions League spot. A win against Liverpool would be very valuable because if they lose Chelsea could lose their Champions League spot, costing them at least £10-15m next season. The question is whether Liverpool will give them a break.

Head-to-head history shows that a victory for Chelsea is very surprising because they have not won against Liverpool in the last 7 meetings, but Chelsea fans can believe in miracles, like Bournemouth just won at Emirates although they have never won at Arsenal. Choosing Chelsea will be more fun .

The most popular score is 1-1 with a payout of only 7.9. Next is Chelsea's win with 2-1 priced at 8.8, 1-0 at 11 and 2-0 at 12. On the contrary, not many people believe in Liverpool's determination with 1-2 priced at 11, 0-1 at 14 and 0-2 at 20.
