Liverpool hosts Chelsea in round 3 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, August 28th at Anfield (Liverpool)
Due to the powerful ending of the previous season, Liverpool miraculously managed to break into the top four and, thus, will play in the group stage of the Champions League. In the summer, the club was not very active in the transfer market. The Reds just bought defender Konate to strengthen the defensive line. Only Wijnaldum and Shaqiri are among the losses. As for the rest, Liverpool managed to preserve the core of the team. Let's highlight two positive news at once. Firstly, Van Dijk returned to the starting lineup after a serious injury. Secondly, the Reds started the 2021/2022 season with two victories. Jurgen Klopp's men defeated the newcomer Norwich City (0-3) and confidently beat Burnley (2-0). Thus, today the team is among the leaders of the English Premier League. A difficult test against Chelsea is ahead, as the level of the previous opponents left much to be desired.

Chelsea can boast of a great last year and a perfect start to the new season. The Blues not only got into the TOP-4 of the Premier League standings in the 2020/21 season but also won the Champions League, beating Manchester City in the final. The roster has not changed, but the arrival of the new head coach, Thomas Tuchel, rebooted the players. At the start of the 2021/2022 season, the Pensioners won another trophy. They beat Villarreal in the UEFA Super Cup final. The successful streak continued in the championship. Chelsea hammered Crystal Palace (3-0) and dealt with Arsenal (0-2), which has many internal problems. It is important to note that in the summer the club's management spared no expense during the transfer window. The Blues paid Inter € 115m for Romelu Lukaku, who had previously played for them under Jose Mourinho. It took 15 minutes for the Belgian to celebrate his return with a goal scored against Arsenal. Since Tuchel got the top striker, there was no room for Abraham and Giroud. Both players left the club.
Both clubs are now in excellent shape, score a lot, do not concede, as well create and convert chances in the opponents’ penalty areas. However, we suggest betting on the visitors. Chelsea has a much better squad. This applies to every line and bench. And Liverpool may have problems both in the midfield, where Klopp cannot decide on the key performers in any way, and in defense, where Van Dijk will be unable to help out the team constantly. Matip cannot be called a reliable defender, and Robertson is not ready to play all 90 minutes after injury. Beyond that, the Pensioners now have Lukaku, who can score out of the blue. We believe that the Blues will at least not lose.
Prediction for the match: Chelsea to win with +0.5 handicap
