Football Predictions
After their loss to Aston Villa on Saturday, Chelsea will be hosting Liverpool at Stamford Bridge knowing well that their dreams of participating in next season’s UEFA Champions League competition are over.
While they signed a chunk of players in January, new coach Graham Potter has done less in changing the fortunes of the team but a win against Liverpool might be the boost he needs to keep his job safe.
While Chelsea has been struggling, the Reds’ seasons haven’t been good either. Since their heavy win against Manchester United before the international break, the Reds have lost three games in a row and scored just one goal which happened on Saturday against Manchester City. They are still in contention for Champions League football and would want to qualify for the tournament as it boosts their pedigree in attracting new players next season
H2H / Stats
There has not been a winner in 90 minutes during the last five meetings between Chelsea and Liverpool, and that streak of stalemates could very well become six on Tuesday evening.
Head to Head
21/01/23: Liverpool 0-0 Chelsea (Premier League)
18/9/22: Chelsea 0-0 Liverpool (Premier League)
14/5/.22: Chelsea 0-0 Liverpool (FA Cup)
27/2/22: Chelsea 0-0 Liverpool (EFL Cup)
2/1/22: Chelsea 2-2 Liverpool (Premier League)
Team News
Hosts Chelsea has plenty of injured players including Thiago Silva, Cesar Azpilicueta, Pierre Aubameyang, Raheem Sterling, Edouard Mendy, and Armando Broja. The return of N’Golo Kante – who made his first Premier League appearance since August off the bench against Aston Villa, could however benefits the Blues from some desired rotation.
For Liverpool, Naby Keita, Stefan Bajcetic, Calvin Ramsey, Thiago Alcantara, and Luis Diaz are out injured. Diaz made his return to team training last week but Klopp revealed that he will not be considered for selection just yet.
Probable Line Ups
Chelsea XI: Arrizabalaga, Badiashile, Koulibaly, Fofana, Chilwell, Kovacic, Fernadez, James, Loftus-Cheek, Joao Felix, Havertz.
Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, van Dijk, Robertson, Elliot, Fabinho, Henderson, Salah, Gakpo, Jota.
Verdict
Klopp faced Chelsea in his 1,000th game as a manager in January, but neither set of fans got their money’s worth in a drab goalless stalemate. It has been the same story in recent games and with both clubs not at their best at the moment, another draw seems to be on the offing.
We are backing a draw in the tie.

Mohamed Salah
While his club has been struggling, Salah has been one of their top performers and notched his 23rd goal of the season in their 4-1 loss to Manchester City on Saturday. With their Champions League dream still intact but the league title over, he would want to grab some individual goalscoring milestones before the end of the season.
