Two big clubs in desperate need of points meet at Anfield as Liverpool and Chelsea clash in early Premier League play on Saturday.

He was better against Wolves in the FA Cup, however, and managed to rip off a few good shots when the rest of his teammates continued to falter. With Mohamed Salah now back into the side, Gakpo should have better service in front of goal. It's tough to win at Anfield though, and given these sides have drawn in each of their last four games, a draw is also a highly likely result. As a result, he was poor in his debut against Brighton, barely involved in the disjointed Liverpool attack. They dominated Crystal Palace last time out and deserved to win, and they pummeled Fulham to no profit in the match before. They were thumped in each of their last two Premier League matches by a combined 6-1 against Brighton and Brentford, and they were leaky in each of their four league wins before that, conceding over 1.0 xG to Tottenham, Southampton, and Aston Villa plus 0.86 xGA to Leicester City at home. The draw with Nottingham Forest on New Year's Day was ugly, but they still came out slightly ahead on expected goals and had chances to win. - These two clubs have played 285 consecutive minutes of action without a goal scored by either team, dating back to Christian Pulisic's 45th minute goal in the 2-2 draw last January. [Premier Injuries](https://www.premierinjuries.com/injury-table.php), Chelsea's 10 current injured players are the most in the Premier League. Both these teams are on a very poor run of form, but if you really dig deep and assess the results, it's Liverpool who should be far more worried. These two clubs sit ninth and 10th in the Premier League table respectively, a far cry from where they expect to be. The Blues are nearly able to field an entire team of just injured or suspended players, with a host of attacking talent on the sidelines.

Two struggling giants of the English game face off at Anfield on Saturday, as Liverpool take on Chelsea with both clubs languishing in mid-table.

Seven Chelsea players are definitely out of the trip to Anfield due to injury, while loan signing João Félix is suspended after his debut red card in last week’s defeat to Fulham. Liverpool did pick up an FA Cup win over Wolves on Tuesday, though, Harvey Elliott’s goal earning victory at Molineux in the sides’ third-round replay. Two straight Premier League defeats have left Liverpool down in ninth in the table, and a full 10 points adrift of the Champions League places.

With both Liverpool and Chelsea desperate to kickstart their season with a win, Tipstrr football expert Sergiu Baltuta is open game at Anfield, ...

Only Manchester City (31 goals) have managed to score more than Liverpool's tally of 23 at home this season, while the Londoners are without a win in their last five away league games (Drawn 2, Lost 3). Last season, both league games between the two teams ended as a draw, 1-1 at Anfield and 2-2 at Stamford Bridge, while their two encounters in the finals of the EFL Cup and the FA Cup were both decided on penalties in Liverpool's favour after goalless draws. Only eight wins in their first 18 Premier League games is way below Liverpool's anticipated standard, while their meagre tally of 28 points leaves them in ninth spot in the league table, a worrying 10 points adrift of the top four Champions League qualifying places, and fully 19 points behind league leaders Arsenal.

A lot of things we did are things we have to do - we have to defend together, everybody. Stick with The Liverpool Offside team to keep yourself up to date with team news and match buildup, live updates, and post-match reaction. The Reds have scored more this season (scoring 34 in the league to Chelsea’s 22), but both sides have had leaky defenses, with Liverpool letting in four more goals (25) than Chelsea (21). The Reds did manage to progress in the FA Cup last time out, passing Wolves in a narrow — but more commanding — replay win. Suffice it to say, it’s been a hard season to watch for Chelsea fans, and new manager Graham Potter is under enormous pressure as things stand. Their last league win came against Bournemouth in the first game back after the World Cup break, and their previous league win was way back in October.

[Premier Injuries](https://www.premierinjuries.com/injury-table.php), Chelsea's 10 current injured players are the most in the Premier League. The glimmer of good news is that Darwin Nunez is back in training and confirmed to be available for selection after missing the last two matches. Goals are expected in this match, which often happens when big clubs meet, but that's not necessarily a guarantee. Chelsea, meanwhile, are 3/1 underdogs on the road. The Blues are nearly able to field an entire team of just injured or suspended players, with a host of attacking talent on the sidelines. These two clubs sit ninth and 10th in the Premier League table respectively, a far cry from where they expect to be.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that Darwin Nunez would be available for selection against Chelsea on Saturday afternoon.

Mykhailo Mudryk could become the first Ukrainian to score on his Premier League debut and is the ninth Ukrainian in the league also the second in Chelsea since Shevchenko. Away from home, the Blues are winless in five Premier League games (drawn two, lost three), their longest run since September to December 2015 (seven). On Saturday afternoon, 9th-position Liverpool will face 10th-position Chelsea in a clash for European spots as both sides have lost momentum to become champions of England, the battle for European spots is still open with less than 20 matches to the end of the season.

The Inside Track brings you the best in betting tips and prediction ahead of Chelsea's trip to Anfield to face a Liverpool side who are equally in poor form ...

For Liverpool, Klopp will be keen to see his side show the same resilience they displayed in their FA Cup replay against Wolves rather than the performance they showed against Brighton last weekend. Last season, both league meetings ended in a draw but this fixture has never finished level in three consecutive matches in the league. Pressure for Graham Potter continues to build despite a win against Crystal Palace as they sit 10th in the Premier League table and travel to Liverpool with Jurgen Klopp looking for his side to return to winning ways.

In the past 17 Premier League games between Liverpool and Chelsea at our two stadiums, the home team has won just three of them. The game at Stamford Bridge ...

Liverpool have since established a new club-best of 68. Despite the away sides enjoying themselves an unusual amount in this fixture in recent years, both clubs of course enjoy deserved reputations for being strong at home. One of the most eye-catching head-to-head statistics leading into today's meeting between the Reds and the Blues is the unusual balance between home and away team victories in recent seasons.

Liverpool and Chelsea lock horns at Anfield in a clash between the faltering traditional 'Big Six' duo.

Liverpool will next travel to their bogey team Brighton in the fourth round of the FA Cup on 29th January. The Reds, for one, come into this contest sitting ninth in the table, level on points with Chelsea albeit having a game in hand. When Liverpool and Chelsea face each other, it's always a big game, more often than not in context to the title-hunt or top-four race, but it's very rarely branded as a mid-table clash.

Graham Potter's Chelsea head to Liverpool with both sides looking to improve their Premier League form in 2023.

Sat, Jan. 21 Sun, Jan. Mon, Jan.

Chelsea take on Liverpool in the Premier League at Saturday lunchtime, so we simulated the game to try and predict the final score.

FIFA 23 predicts that Chelsea could show great character against Liverpool on Saturday, with the Blues coming from two goals behind to claim a point in the simulation. Mudryk found the German with a through ball after he peeled off the shoulder of Joel Matip, but his original shot was smothered by Alisson from a tight angle. On the counterattack, Kai Havertz threaded a pass through to Mudryk at the back post, and the forward cut across Trent Alexander-Arnold to latch onto the ball and charge towards goal. It was looking to become a miserable afternoon for Chelsea, but substitute Mykhalio Mudryk made an instant impact off the bench to pull a goal back in the 74th minute. The midfielder took on his shot first time and sliced it horribly wide of goal, but Ziyech was alert and slid in at the far post to tap in from close range. Chelsea got off to an awful start at Anfield when they went a goal down inside seven minutes, with Kepa clearing the ball into the path of Darwin Nunez who slipped in Mohamed Salah to tap home.

Proof if ever it was needed of the complete disconnect between social media and real life.— David Lynch (@dmlynch) 1.5 hrs from kickoff: Team news coming in half an hour's time and some big decisions for both managers ahead of this one.

Two struggling Premier League giants collide at Anfield on Saturday as Liverpool and Chelsea always seem to put on a show when they clash.

The Magpies are playing without Bruno Guimaraes, a huge loss that could last a week or several — we don’t know yet — but will feel they still have enough to overwork Palace’s midfield. So far, USMNT back Chris Richards has done alright and is in the thick of a big opportunity. Brighton could have staying power in the race for Europe, as this run of Leicester, Bournemouth, Crystal Palace, and Fulham does not see a clearly superior club across from them. Jamie Vardy hasn’t scored since October and James Maddison’s absence has been apparent in almost every contest. Below is the full schedule, as you can watch all 380 games across our NBC platforms. Mykhailo Mudryk could make his Chelsea debut as he’s on the bench, while Graham Potter has kept Ziyech, Mount and Havertz together in attack, plus Conor Gallagher looked very good in midfield last time out and he starts again. Kostas Tsimikas is a doubt, while so too is Virgil van Dijk after picking up a thigh injury against Brentford on Jan. No goal but an early warning sign for Liverpool. Still, not a great half for either side who are really struggling for confidence. We are underway for the second half and Liverpool look a lot better already. Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool have slipped to ninth place and have lost two straight games at Brentford and Brighton and conceded three goals in each defeat. Can he get Chelsea going again?

Potter has named a largely unchanged lineup from last weekend, but with Marc Cucurella starting at what looks like left wing (instead of Chukwuemeka), as per ...

Kick off: Liverpool 0-0 Chelsea Liverpool vs Chelsea LIVE: Premier League team news and line-ups with Mykhailo Mudryk on the bench

Both Liverpool and Chelsea are in desperate need for points in the Premier League and the Blues may have some new stars in line for a debut.

An early start today so thanks for joining us for a massive game for both sides. We’ve done that and it’s exciting the players we have. Seems plausible with Marc Cucurella's return to the team. But at the same time, you’re always looking to strengthen the team. All four of the clubs' meetings last term ended in a draw after 90 minutes, Liverpool prevailing in two penalty shootouts in the Carabao Cup and FA Cup finals. There’s definitely similarities, but I hope to be as good as him one day. When players are back [from injury] there is a good and exciting squad of players.” I’ve said before that the January window is very complex. He [Mudryk] can play the back end of the game. Graham Potter and Jurgen Klopp find themselves 10 points off the pace in earning a spot for next season's Champions League. I’ve not complaints about the squad. I’d probably have to say Eden Hazard.
