Chelsea vs Liverpool Prediction

I predict a tight match with little to split these two sides. The draw at 3.80 stands out compared to Chelsea at 2.90 or Liverpool at 2.30. Both teams need to get back to winning ways after recent hiccups. But key injury concerns could lead to weaker starting lineups and an even contest.

The second prediction for this Saturday is over 2.5 goals at 1.57 (Ladbrokes), preferred to under 2.5 at 2.38 (Bet365). Both teams score and concede plenty. Their 6 EPL games have featured 19 goals each, an average of just over 3 goals per game. So, we could see a high-scoring match-up.

Chelsea Analysis

Chelsea’s 2025-26 form is patchy. After 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses, the Blues are 8th in the EPL standings, 7 points behind Liverpool.

Tuesday’s 1-0 Champions League win over Benfica restored some belief. A run of 3 defeats in 5 had hit the team’s confidence. Last week’s 3-1 loss to Brighton ended Chelsea’s 12-match EPL home unbeaten run. This came on the back of a soulless 2-1 loss at Man United.

Three red cards in the previous 3 matches suggest a discipline issue in Enzo Maresca’s squad. Or poor decision-making, as reckless challenges led to all 3 dismissals.

The Blues have scored 11 goals (average 2.2) and conceded 8 (average 1.6) in their last 5 EPL fixtures.

Chelsea has an injury crisis. Levi Colwell (knee), Dario Essugo (thigh) are out until next year. Liam Delap (hamstring) may return in late October to early November. But Cole Palmer (groin), Tosin Adarabioyo (calf), Andrey Santos (knock) and Wesley Fofana (concussion) won’t return until mid-October. Benoit Badiashile and Romeo Lavia are now available to play.

Player in Focus

Joao Pedro – Chelsea’s 23 year-old Brazilian forward is fast becoming one of the EPL’s most feared attackers, with 2 goals and 3 assists from his first 6 EPL games. In Cole Palmer’s absence, Joao Pedro could step up again. Take him to score a goal at 3.10 (Betway).

Liverpool Analysis

Arne Slot’s Liverpool are currently top of the Premier League on 15 points, 2 ahead of Arsenal.

Yet, the Reds are in shock after back-to-back defeats. Tuesday’s 1-0 loss at Galatasaray came after a first 2025-26 league defeat at Crystal Palace. But recent late winners at Newcastle and Burnley point to a resilience away from Anfield. Also, the recent 2-1 Anfield win over Everton showed their ability under pressure.

After 11 goals in their opening 2 EPL games, Liverpool’s 3 most recent league games saw 5 goals for and against.

Midweek injuries to Alisson Becker (knee) and Hugo Ekitike (hamstring) added to Liverpool’s woes. Stefan Bajcetic continues to recover from hamstring surgery. At the same time, Federico Chiesa is back from a knock. Ekitike served a 1 game ban before his injury, so Liverpool has no suspended players.

Player in Focus

Mo Salah – The Egyptian forward will be eager to play after only coming off the bench against Galatasaray. Salah has notched 2 goals and 2 assists in only 6 EPL starts. Back him to score anytime at 2.70 (Betway).

Liverpool and Chelsea will battle to a pulsating draw

The desire of both teams to win this game will make it open to situations, and both teams will get their chances. However, apart from expecting goals from both sides, the recent injuries and missing players of both teams will make it harder for each team to get the most out of this clash, so the draw result is very likely.
