Chelsea vs Liverpool Predictions

• Chelsea have kept three clean sheets in four home games this season.
• Liverpool have lost their last two matches.
• Enzo Fernandez has scored three goals in six league outings this season.

Blues bounce back against Benfica

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca batted away reports of him being under pressure before clinching a hard-fought win over Benfica in midweek, and the Blues boss could taste more success against a fragile-looking Liverpool outfit on Saturday.

While Chelsea have struggled at times this season, they have only lost one of their four home matches and have kept three clean sheets in the process, pointing towards another potentially frustrating evening for the visiting attack.

Reds luck running out

Arne Slot’s side faced a hostile trip to the Turkish capital for their midweek run-out, with a second successive defeat for the defending Premier League champions hinting at a turnaround of fortunes for the Reds.

They may have started the season with five straight Premier League wins, but they have looked far from convincing at times.

Liverpool required late goals to beat Southampton, Atletico Madrid, Burnley, Arsenal, Newcastle, and Bournemouth, and they have only won two of their five games away from Anfield.

Fernandez to make the difference

They lost 3-1 at Stamford Bridge in May, and another defeat against the odds could be on the cards on Saturday. With Chelsea’s excellent defensive record in front of their own fans, backing a repeat of both sides’ 1-0 results in midweek also appeals.

Anytime goalscorer punters should consider Enzo Fernandez at an excellent price. The Argentine midfielder has scored three goals in six Premier League appearances this term and has been instrumental in Chelsea’s attacking play under Maresca.
