Chelsea vs Liverpool - Predictions

Liverpool have clinched it. For the 20th time in their history, the Reds are the English champions. Their triumph came in resounding fashion, with a 5-1 demolition of Spurs the cherry on top of an incredible season.

Arne Slot's men were outstanding throughout the campaign, sitting atop the table since late November. They lead the standings not just on points, but also on goals scored, expected goals for, expected goals against, goal difference, wins, and plenty more.

Although Arsenal and Man City missed out on expectations, nothing should detract from Liverpool's accomplishments. This success was particularly impressive considering it was Slot's first season as Liverpool boss and his first working outside of his native Netherlands.

Few had tipped the Reds to win the league when Slot wasappointed last summer. The fact the club didn't sign a single first-team regular (Federico Chiesa barely featured) didn't exactly instill optimism at Anfield.

Enzo Maresca is also in his maiden season at Chelsea. The jury is still out on the Italian and his possession-orientated play style, which has left a fair few Blues supporters frustrated.

Nevertheless, if Maresca manages to secure Champions League qualification and Conference League victory for the season, that would be a decent outcome indeed.

Just a few weeks ago, it seemed Chelsea were heading down the Premier League table. However, they have now lost just one of their past eight top-flight matches, snaring 13 points from the last 15 available at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea are still in a precarious position, occupying fifth spot at present despite their recent form. Their lead over Notts Forest is solely on goal difference, demonstrating there's still plenty of work to be done before the Blues can celebrate Champions League qualification.

A victory over the newly-crowned champions would certainly help ensure they stay among Europe's elite.

Chelsea vs Liverpool - Betting Tips

The allure of Stamford Bridge beckons this weekend as Chelsea and Liverpool meet once more.

Chelsea to win

Is Liverpool's title triumph going to affect their attitude in Sunday's showdown? It's hard to answer that question definitively. On the one hand, the Reds have nothing left to play for, so they might opt to rest a few players or not fully commit. On the other, they've shown tremendous spirit throughout the season, and it's difficult to see them going through the motions against a team like Chelsea, who still have plenty to fight for.

Liverpool to draw

Should the Blues clinch victory at Stamford Bridge, it would be a huge victory for Maresca and his squad. However, there could be arguments for a Liverpool draw. First and foremost, the Reds have a reputation for being resilient, especially when facing less-than-perfect circumstances. They've demonstrated that many times this season, making it a possibility that a draw could be the outcome should the Blues triumph.

Mohamed Salah to score any time

Liverpool's talismanic Egyptian forward was once again instrumental in their title triumph, netting twice against Spurs to bring his season tally to 29 goals and 16 assists in just 34 appearances. If anyone can make a difference in this match, it's Salah.

Moises Caicedo to be carded any time

One player to keep a close eye on this weekend will be Chelsea's Moises Caicedo. The combative midfielder has a reputation for getting stuck in, and that could be a factor in this encounter. If Liverpool can wind him up, Caicedo could easily be provoked into picking up a yellow (or perhaps even a red) card.
