Liverpool’s formidable 22-game unbeaten streak at Anfield in the Premier League sets the stage for their upcoming clash against Chelsea. With both teams scoring in seven of Chelsea’s ten away league matches and Liverpool not losing any of their last ten matches, the scene is set for an enthralling encounter. Diogo Jota’s form, with three goals in Liverpool’s last three games, adds another layer of intrigue.
Liverpool’s Dominance at Anfield Following Jurgen Klopp’s surprise announcement about his departure at the season’s end, Liverpool responded emphatically with a 5-2 thrashing of Norwich in the FA Cup. Their current form places them at the forefront of the Premier League title race, having won 14 of their 21 league games, putting them five points clear of Manchester City, albeit having played one more game. Liverpool’s home record is particularly impressive, with eight wins and two draws in their ten league games at Anfield this season.
Considering this, Liverpool are well-positioned to overcome Chelsea in this fixture, continuing their impressive unbeaten run at home.
Chelsea’s Away Form Concerns While Chelsea can look forward to facing Liverpool in the EFL Cup final, their Premier League performances, particularly away from home, have been less convincing. Mauricio Pochettino’s side has lost four of their last five away games in the league, suggesting they might find it tough to cope with the challenge at Anfield.
Goals Expected at Anfield Despite Chelsea’s struggles on the road, they have a consistent scoring record in away games, having found the net in seven of their last eight Premier League away matches. Conversely, Liverpool’s defence has shown some vulnerability recently, conceding goals against Norwich, Newcastle, and Fulham.
With these factors in mind, a wager on Liverpool to win with both teams scoring seems like a solid choice, particularly as this outcome has occurred in all three of Liverpool’s home games in 2024.
A 3-1 victory for Liverpool could be a judicious correct score prediction. Diogo Jota, with seven Premier League goals this season, is a strong contender in the goalscorer markets, further underlining Liverpool’s potential to secure a high-scoring win.
