Chelsea vs Liverpool Prediction: Sportpesa Mega Jackpot Pro

Chelsea and Liverpool both enter this clash under pressure, looking to arrest contrasting dips in momentum.

Chelsea responded to league woes by edging out Benfica 1–0 in the Champions League, restoring a little confidence after back-to-back league defeats.
Liverpool, on the other hand, suffered a 1–0 home defeat to Galatasaray in midweek and also lost at Crystal Palace in the league, marking back-to-back losses for the first time under Arne Slot.

Chelsea have been inconsistent, with a mixture of wins, draws, and defeats, struggling to sustain any positive run, particularly in the Premier League.
Liverpool started strongly but now look vulnerable: their recent declines suggest they are more fragile than earlier in the season, especially defensively.

Home and Away Form

Chelsea at home (this season)
Chelsea’s home outings have been a testing ground. While they may have picked up a few positive moments, their defensive stability and attacking fluency have often faltered under pressure.

Their Stamford Bridge nights have not been consistently dominant, especially when key absences bite into their rhythm.

Liverpool away (this season)
On the road, Liverpool have shown flashes of their strength, but their away performances have not looked assured in recent fixtures. The absence of key defensive figures and patchy moments in concentration have allowed home teams to impose themselves.

Team News

Chelsea

Unavailable: Cole Palmer (groin), Liam Delap (hamstring), Andrey Santos.
Suspended / disciplinary issues: Trevoh Chalobah is suspended following a red card.
Defensive injuries complicate Maresca’s options: Tosin Adarabioyo is also out, while Wesley Fofana may or may not be fit.
Young Josh Acheampong may come into consideration.
Midfield and attack reshuffles may be needed, with Facundo Buonanotte expected to shoulder creative burdens.

Liverpool

Unavailable: First-choice keeper Alisson (hamstring) is confirmed out, meaning Giorgi Mamardashvili is likely to start.
Federico Chiesa is also absent due to a minor injury.
Hugo Ekitike is hopeful of recovering to take part.
The defensive pairing is expected to remain with Konaté and van Dijk, and Mamardashvili will need protection behind them.

Prediction & Key Takeaways

This match promises to be tense and cagey. Chelsea will try to leverage home familiarity and force Liverpool into errors. Meanwhile, Liverpool will aim to steady their defense and exploit spaces on the break, especially with Chelsea’s key absences in midfield and attack.

Given Liverpool’s edge in squad depth and resilience even amid injury woes, plus their historical dominance in the rivalry, they may just have the edge — though Chelsea at home can be dangerous when things click.
