Chelsea hosts Liverpool in round 6 of English Premier League. The match will be played on Sunday, September 22nd at Stamford Bridge (London)
On Tuesday, Chelsea played a match in the Champions League and unexpectedly lost to Valencia at home. Moreover, it did not even manage to score a goal. This incident occurred with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge far back in February. Since then, Londoners have scored in all their home matches, without exception. But Chelsea’s defense is stable. It is stably bad. In the last 15 matches, the team kept a clean sheet once. The nickname "the Pensioners" is not relevant for the current Chelsea. The squad is full of young players, including in the defensive line. Zuma is 24 years old, Christensen is 23 years old, Tomori is 21 years old. Goalkeeper Arizabalaga is 24 years old. Because of it, the goals are conceded in every match - experience is not enough. A new coach Lampard did not dare to ask the management for reinforcement in the form of one or two experienced defenders.

Liverpool also lost its match and did not score. Well, if Chelsea is a practically new team that is being built, it’s a sin for the Reds to complain. Almost the entire victorious squad was saved, led by the coach and attack Salah, Firmino, and Mane. All were on the pitch in Naples and didn’t even manage to score a consolation goal. It was Liverpool's third failure in the attack in the last 30 matches. In general, nothing terrible happened. Especially with Napoli and even home because the club is pretty neat in defense.
Nevertheless, Chelsea’s forwards have drawn some conclusions, as well as the whole company of strikers of Liverpool, led by Salah. And in the upcoming match, the forwards of both teams will work like dogs and manage to score a goal. There is nothing to add about the Liverpool attackers; they have already been written about. They are excellent masters and everybody knows them. Mane, Firmino, and Salah scored 56 goals in the last season. And it was only in the Premier League. Chelsea also has high-class performers. The same Pedro, besides Chelsea, has played in Barcelona for more than one season and scored 82 goals there. Don’t forget about Willian and Giroud. And Lampard was not mistaken with Mount and Abraham, having invited them to the team. The first one has already scored 3 goals in 5 rounds, the second one – as much as 7. The teams exchanged goals in 15 of their last 20 head-to-head matches. Over the past year, 4 matches have been played, and both scored in 3 of them. Having such forwards, the teams will probably score each other again.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score - yes
