Chelsea take on the visitors Liverpool in the postponed round 8 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Tuesday, April 4 at Stamford Bridge (London).
Last year, the team began with a forced change in ownership, and at the beginning of this new season, they also had to replace their coach. It is unknown where the "aristocrats" would be now if the new investor, Boehly, had enough patience to trust Tuchel. But Thomas was fired without hesitation, replaced by Potter. Despite massive spending during the winter transfer window and the record acquisition of Fernandes, the season can only be saved in the Champions League. It was precisely there where the English team was able to perform well, not only making it out of the group stage (which, however, was not difficult, with opponents such as Dynamo Zagreb and Red Bull Salzburg), but also defeating Dortmund's Borussia. Moreover, after losing to the Germans by only one goal in Germany, the "Blues" were able to secure a satisfying 2-0 victory at home - and the Germans had a 100% winning record before that! At the same time, they seemed to finally improve in the Premier League, winning consecutively against Leeds and Leicester. However, before the break, they allowed the survival fighter Everton to equalize in the final minutes of the match. After the tournament resumed, they faced Aston Villa at home and were embarrassed again, losing 0-2.

Liverpool are in a very difficult situation. But, remarkably, nobody here has thought about firing their German manager - Klopp's position, unlike Tuchel's, is unshakeable. However, of course, Jurgen himself is hardly particularly pleased. Starting with a victory in the English Super Cup at the beginning, the "Reds" quickly and sharply deflated. It was not excluded that they would try to save the season through the Champions League. But there, having already made it out of the group with some difficulty, the English ran into the Madrid "Real" in the round of 16, their opponent in last year's final. And even a successful start at Anfield, with a couple of goals in the first quarter of an hour, did not help - they lost 2-5 at home, and also lost in Spain in the end. So it is not surprising that the "Merseysiders" began to switch back to the EPL again by spring. There, in February-March, they seemed to have noticeably improved, delivering a good stretch and "crowning" it with a crushing 7-0 win over their historical rival, "Manchester United". But what's the use if March ended with a paradoxical 0-1 loss to "Bournemouth", and Mohamed Salah, who became the project's top scorer in history, missed a penalty? The new month began with a crucial match against "Manchester City". There, the Egyptian scored, and they went to the break with an equal score - but then the "Cityzens" turned it into a crushing 4-1.
On the one hand, all 5 of the last head-to-head matches resulted in draws. On the other hand, in 2022, both cup finals were won by the "Reds", both times proving to be stronger in the penalty shootout. The Blues, playing at home, will be the favorites of this pair. But still, the "Reds" are slightly more stable, or rather, they have not fallen as deeply. So we expect that the "Merseysiders" will not lose.
Prediction for the match: Liverpool not to lose.
