Chelsea Vs Liverpool Preview

Tournament: Premier League

Date: Sunday, May 4

Kick-off time: 15:30 GMT

Venue: Stamford Bridge

We have an exciting clash coming up as Chelsea take on Liverpool in a mouthwatering Premier League clash at the Stamford Bridge on Sunday, looking to continue their unbeaten run intact.

Chelsea are heading into the clash in excellent form as they aim to secure a victory here to keep their Champions League dream alive. They are currently lurking fifth in the table, having gathered 60 points from 34 matches. However, they now have four crucial matches coming up, starting with Liverpool, as two clubs behind them also push for a spot. Enzo Maresca's side has won their last two matches in the league, securing victories over Fulham and Everton. To make things good, they are also in the Conference League semi-final, which they should have won, given the quality of players they have in the squad. Cole Palmer is leading both the goal-scoring chart and assists charts with 14 goals and 8 assists.

Liverpool, on the other hand, have been crowned the Premier League champions after a wonderful season where they have already achieved the 82 points mark, maintaining a 15-point lead over second-place Arsenal. Arne Slot has to be given credit for making them a well-drilled side who are tough to break down and impressive going forward. They have won each of their last three matches while also scoring eight goals and conceding only two in this span. Mohamed Salah has been the best player for them, scoring an astonishing 28 goals and also providing the most assists with 18. Arne Slot will be looking here to give some minutes to the fringe players, rewarding their effort in the run to the Premier League glory.

Chelsea Team News

The Blues have a couple of injury concerns in their squad. Christopher Nkunku has picked up a knock in training and won't be available here. He is joined on the sidelines by Malo Gusto, Wesley Fofana, Marc Guiu, Omari Kellyman, and Robert Sanchez, who shall be ready before the clash.

Enzo Maresca is all likely to call Romeo Lavia into the starting eleven, which would see Moises Caicedo drift into the right back position. We might also see Reece James drop to the match here given the amount of injury he has had over the past years, managing his minutes carefully.

Liverpool Team News

The Reds will be without three players for this clash. Conor Bradley, Joe Gomez are sidelined due to injuries at the moment, while teenager Tyler Morton, who has been around the first team, is also a possible doubt for this match. Arne Slot might also make some changes here, given that now they are champions, he might decide to give some minutes to other players here.
