Liverpool v Chelsea Betting Tips [20 October 2024]

Liverpool’s October schedule features three matches against London sides; one of them comes next, in the shape of Chelsea. The Reds will host The Blues in a match that could shake up the face of the top four. Read on for our prediction of the match.

Leading the standings with 18 points, Liverpool will hope to hold on to their slender lead at the close of the week. They are unbeaten in nine matches against Chelsea and this should give them some optimism.

In those matches, only one produced a win inside 90 minutes. That was this corresponding fixture last season. As Liverpool come here on six straight wins, they will be confident of staying unbeaten in this fixture.

Chelsea have picked up well after a slow start to the season. They have this season shown all the attributes of a top four challenger after rising from their opening day defeat.

Under Enzo Maresca there has been great improvement, and that, the visitors will hope, translates into a win at Anfield. Winning here could lift them as high as second, though their competitors for that position play earlier on the weekend.

At this point of the season, only Manchester City have scored more than Chelsea. Meanwhile, in Liverpool, they face the league’s best defensive side. In their last seven matches, Chelsea are unbeaten, with the most recent being a 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest.

Two teams in good form face off here, as league leaders Liverpool seek to open up a gap at the top. Chelsea, on the other hand, are looking to crash into the top two as a sign of their changing fortunes. It has always been a matter of time before Chelsea got back their mojo.

Here, though, they may have to settle for less than a win as they are facing a tough Liverpool side. With both teams doing well, the spoils could be shared. Our prediction for Liverpool v Chelsea is for the game to end in a draw.
