Liverpool hosts Chelsea in round 33 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Thursday, March 4th at Anfield (Liverpool)
Liverpool's 4-match streak of defeats was interrupted, but there is nothing to rejoice at. After all, the Reds beat the main outsider of the Premier League, Sheffield United. The teams did not score goals in the first half. The Reds dominated, but they managed to convert their goal attempts only in the second part of the meeting. Jones' accurate shot and Brian's own goal brought Jurgen Klopp's charges three points. It is worth noting that due to a large number of injured players, the German coach had to use two newcomers in the center of defense. A pair of Kabak and Phillips managed to keep a clean sheet, although the regular goalkeeper Alisson Becker missed the game. His place was taken by Adrian, who made two saves. But the Brazilian goalkeeper should be in the starting lineup in the upcoming match. Liverpool is currently in 6th place. And the Reds will have to make a lot of efforts to make it to the European Cups at the end of the season.

Chelsea is in 5th place in the standings and has only one point more than Liverpool. The Blues' unbeaten streak in all tournaments lasts 10 matches. Their new head coach, Thomas Tuchel, has not lost a single game in the Premier League. His unbeaten streak at the helm of the metropolitan team amounts to nine meetings. At the same time, the team conceded only two goals in the indicated segment. After a victory over Atlético Madrid in the Champions League playoffs (0-1), the Pensioners did not lose to Manchester United in the central battle of the round at Stamford Bridge. Looking at almost all parameters, including xG (1.17 x 0.36), we can say the Pensioners had an advantage over the Red Devils but did not manage to hit the opponent's net.
There is a feeling that we will see the minimum number of goals in the upcoming match, as it was in the game between Man United and Chelsea. Liverpool's attack slowed down significantly. Salah, Mane, and Firmino noticeably lost their shape, and Klopp probably needs to rebuild the attacking line. With the arrival of Tuchel, Chelsea took control of the ball and had an average possession of 60-65% (5th figure in the Premier League). The Blues are trying to score 1-2 goals and not let the opponent hit their net. As we have already noted above, the Pensioners conceded only twice in the last nine games. Moreover, they played with Over 3.5 goals scored only once in this segment. And Mendy is a reliable goalkeeper who often keeps a clean sheet. Neither hosts nor visitors need defeat. It is unlikely that someone will play open attacking football and force events.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.5 goals scored
