Key Players to Watch in Chelsea vs Liverpool

Pedro Neto (Chelsea)

Pedro Neto has had a decent start to the 2025/26 season for Chelsea, having scored one Premier League goal by overperforming his 0.58 xG (expected goals). The Portuguese winger has taken a more important role with Cole Palmer's absence and needs to be at his menacing best. He will need to use his pace to trouble the defenders, but will also have to nail the final delivery and take up any chances at goal to help Chelsea get a big win.

Alexander Isak (Liverpool)

Alexander Isak is yet to score his first Premier League goal for Liverpool, but he will be desperate to do so against Chelsea. The Swedish forward managed 23 goals in the 2024/25 Premier League and aims to get his tally underway for the Reds. Isak will need to be smart with his off-the-ball movement and link-up play to trouble the Chelsea defenders, but he will need to be efficient in finishing off his chances to torment the Blues.

Chelsea vs Liverpool Prediction

As the matches between these two English giants have been entertaining affairs in recent years, this one should be quite similar! Chelsea and Liverpool are both desperate to get a win, which means they'll push hard for three points, and this should be an eventful clash.
