Chelsea vs Liverpool Prediction: Sportpesa Mega Jackpot Predictions
ENGLAND: PREMIER LEAGUE – ROUND 1
Date: 13 August 2023, Sunday
Kick-off at 18:30 EAT
Venue: Stamford Bridge (London).
Following underwhelming performances by Chelsea and Liverpool in the previous season, a highly anticipated fixture that typically exudes Premier League (PL) prestige might be tinged with a sense of anxious anticipation.
Chelsea, in particular, have taken substantial strides towards necessary changes.
The appointment of manager Mauricio Pochettino has generated considerable optimism.
Additionally, a comprehensive squad overhaul during the summer has further fueled hope.
Notably, the potential inclusion of Moisés Caicedo from Brighton, a player who has been caught in a transfer tussle with Liverpool, could provide an intriguing addition.
With the board’s anticipation of improvement under Pochettino’s leadership, expectations aren’t excessively high.
Considering their historical performance, Chelsea’s 14th-place finish in the 1993/94 season remains their lowest, other than last season’s 12th-place finish.
A glance at their recent league results explains the somber tone of Chelsea’s season. They secured only one victory in their last 12 PL matches (D4, L7).
Among those draws, the most recent encounter between these two teams concluded in a 0-0 stalemate, marking the fourth consecutive league head-to-head draw.
While this series of draws coincided with a challenging period for Chelsea, it marked the beginning of a spirited comeback for Liverpool’s season.
They proceeded to remain unbeaten in their final 11 matches of the season (W7, D4).
Harnessing this momentum while undergoing a squad overhaul poses a significant challenge for manager Jürgen Klopp.
His team witnessed the departure of key players such as captain Jordan Henderson, Fabinho, Roberto Firmino, and James Milner during the summer transfer window. The dedicated Liverpool supporters anticipate that new signings Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister will experience swift starts.
Liverpool itself boasts an impressive record of not losing an opening PL fixture in the last ten seasons (W8, D2).
