Chelsea vs Liverpool Match preview

England - Premier League: Chelsea vs Liverpool

This will be a big game between two teams aiming to stay at the top of the league. Chelsea and Liverpool are tied at the top and both teams want to win this game and create an important advantage over the title rivals. Both Chelsea and Liverpool are in impressive form, which proves that this is going to be very interesting match.

Chelsea kept six successive clean sheets

Chelsea is in magnificent form from the start of the season and Luis Scolari has every reason to be happy with the start of his career at Chelsea. His team is very consistent and they are winning the games with ease. Unlike the past few seasons when Chelsea usually won their games by a single goal margin and their fans had to fear until the last moments if the game, the team is now very convincing and they win most of the games by a bigger margin. Chelsea trashed Middlesbrough away last weekend (5:0) and continued their impressive run. They dominated the match from the start and didn’t allow their opponents any clear-cut chances. That win was followed by another against Roma in the Champions League and it was their sixth match in a row where they managed to keep a clean sheet. That is really a remarkable record, considering that Scolari couldn’t count on his strongest line-up in this period. Scolari will not be able to count on Ballack, Drogba and Essien but their replacements have been really excellent lately.

Liverpool wants to go top of the pile

Liverpool ended their five games winning run against Atletico in the Champions League. However, they will not be too downhearted by the result as the Reds are still in good position to qualify for the knockout stages. Liverpool is great in the Premier League this season and their form is very consistent. They managed to make a couple of great comebacks and won some games thanks to sheer determination. It is a big improvement from the last couple of seasons when they lacked some cutting edge and were unable to finish the games off. This season Benitez also decided to discard his rotation policy and that is another reason for the good results. Beside Torres, who will certainly miss the game through injury, Benitez will be sweating over the fitness of Gerrard, Keane and Alonso, who received minor injuries against Atletico, but they are all expected to feature. This will be very important match for the Reds and Benitez will need all the help he can get.

Betting verdict

This will be very intense affair and the players will be very motivated to win the game. Both teams have been really impressive lately and it will be difficult to predict the outcome of the match. However, the importance of the game might make the managers opt for a very cautious approach and considering that both teams are very good defensively your best option would be betting on under 2.5 goals.
