Team Analysis
Under the guidance of Arne Slot, Liverpool has shown impressive form, winning 9 out of 10 matches this season. Slot has implemented several changes, including making Ryan Gravenberch a regular starter, which has paid off. However, the team faces its first major challenge of the season against Chelsea, particularly with the absence of their main goalkeeper, Alisson, due to injury. Despite this setback, Kelleher is set to step in, but the match will test Liverpool's resilience and championship aspirations.

Chelsea, managed by Enzo Maresca, has also been performing well, with only one defeat this season against Manchester City. The team has found a strong structure, with Caicedo anchoring the midfield and Palmer creating opportunities in attack alongside Jackson. However, Chelsea faces several personnel challenges with Reece James injured and the disqualifications of Fofana and Cucurella, which could impact their performance at Anfield.

Head-to-Head
Last season saw a lengthy series of draws between Liverpool and Chelsea, including four consecutive goalless games. The latest encounters ended with Liverpool winning both in the Premier League (4-1) and the League Cup final (1-0). This match will test whether these trends continue or if Chelsea can reverse their fortunes.

Prediction
Despite Chelsea’s current form, bookmakers favor Liverpool, especially at Anfield, where they have a strong home advantage. The match is expected to be low-scoring, with past encounters between these teams often resulting in few goals. A scoreline of 1-0 in favor of Liverpool is anticipated, with a total of less than four goals expected overall. Both teams might be cautious, leading to a tight game with limited scoring opportunities.

Pick: Under 4 goals
