The Premier League returns to the fold with another round of matches this weekend as Chelsea lock horns with Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool side in an important clash at Anfield on Saturday.
Liverpool vs Chelsea Preview
Chelsea are currently in 10th place in the Premier League standings and have struggled to meet expectations this season. The Blues edged Crystal Palace to a crucial 1-0 victory in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.
Liverpool, on the other hand, are in ninth place in the league table at the moment and have also been in poor form this season. The Merseyside outfit defeated Wolverhampton Wanderers by a 1-0 scoreline in the FA Cup this week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.

Liverpool vs Chelsea Prediction
Liverpool have largely failed to meet expectations this season and will need to play out of their skins to finish in the top four. The likes of Cody Gakpo and Darwin Nunez are yet to adapt to the Premier League and will need to work hard in the coming weeks.
Chelsea are also in the midst of a transition and are in desperate need of a shot in the arm. Both teams are evenly matched at the moment and could play out a draw in this fixture.
