Date – 04/04/2023;
Kick-Off – 19:00 CET;
Venue – Stamford Bridge (London).
There has been a draw in at least one half in all of the last eight encounters between Chelsea and Liverpool in all competitions. Chelsea have had a draw in at least one half in five of their last six games in the Premier League, with Liverpool also sharing in that same fortune.
All of the last seven meetings between Chelsea and Liverpool in all competitions have been tightly contested, with only one of those matches seeing over 3.5 goals, and the three most recent ones all ending in goalless draws.
Chelsea
The Blues are having one of their worst seasons in recent memory, with Graham Potter being the second manager already fired by the London club this season, after they dismissed Tuchel earlier in the season. Bruno Saltor will now take over as interim coach and will be hoping to improve on Chelsea’s dreadful return of just 38 points from 28 games. With their recent record in their last six games in the Premier League being two wins, two draws, and two losses (W2, D2, L2).
Liverpool
Liverpool suffered a setback in their bid for a top-four finish after receiving a proper schooling from a Haaland-less Manchester City. “I don’t think we would have won the game even with ten men” was Klopp’s unfiltered assessment of his players’ performance in their last game after being asked if Rodri should have been sent off. They dropped down to 8th position, with 42 points collected over 27 games this season.
Liverpool: Alisson, Robertson, Konate, Alexander-Arnorld, Van Dijk, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Henderson, Elliot, Nunez, Salah, Nunez
This game will be played at Stamford Bridge (London).
Kick-off time is 20:00 GMT, 19:00 CET. 04.04.2023.
