Liverpool vs Chelsea prediction 20.10.2024

• Competition: Premier League
• Date: 20th October 2024
• Kick-off: 15:30 UTC / 17:30 CET
• Venue: Anfield

Liverpool will try to continue their impressive start to the 2024-25 campaign on Sunday afternoon when they welcome Chelsea to Anfield for Matchday eight.

Arne Slot’s tenure as Liverpool head coach has been largely successful. The Reds sit a point clear of reigning champions City at the top of the standings after picking up 18 points from their seven games and things are also going well for them in Europe with Liverpool winning their two Champions League games 5-2 on aggregate.

The decision to sack Mauricio Pochettino at the end of the 2023-24 campaign didn't go way with many people. The decision has paid off in a way though. Under Enzo Maresca, the Blues have already secured some massive victories this season like the 6:2 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers, 3:0 win over West Ham United and the 4:2 win over Brighton.

Liverpool vs Chelsea Betting Tips: Under 3.5 goals

While Liverpool have not scored many goals like the likes of Man City, Chelsea and Arsenal, Arne Slot’s men boast the best defence in the Premier League at the moment and that aspect of their game could prove decisive this weekend.

The Reds have the best defence in the English top flight so far this season and none of their seven league games produced more than three goals.

Another recent you shouldn’t expect many goals on Sunday at Anfield is the fact that meetings between Liverpool and Chelsea are not known for being entertaining. Five of the last seven ended with under one goal and we could be in for a similar encounter this weekend.

• Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals
• Liverpool vs Chelsea prediction: 2-1
