Liverpool vs Chelsea Betting Tips: BTTS / Liverpool to Win
Liverpool and Chelsea are set to clash in an anticipated intense EPL match at Anfield, as both teams have been performing well in recent weeks.
Chelsea, buoyed by their massive 6:1 EFL Cup semi-final victory over Middlesbrough last week, head north. However, a goalless draw against Aston Villa on Saturday slightly dampened their spirits.
Despite remaining undefeated in eight of their last ten games, the Blues have gradually shown improvement under the leadership of Argentine manager Mauricio Pochettino. Nonetheless, Chelsea’s recent upswing in form has been predominantly at home games, with the team suffering losses in five of their last six away games since late November. In those six matches, Pochettino’s team let in 13 goals.
The Londoners are now up against a Liverpool team that has been victorious in 17 and tied in five of their last 22 home EPL games, presenting a huge challenge to their determination. Currently leading the EPL with 48 points gathered from 21 games, the Reds have demonstrated excellent performance in recent weeks and are optimistic about their odds of defeating a struggling Blues team on the road.
Lately, games between these rivals have been strikingly balanced. Amazingly, their previous seven encounters all ended in draws, with five of these matches held at Stamford Bridge. In this arena, Liverpool has only managed a single victory in their last four showdowns with Chelsea.
While that record is slightly concerning, I expect Liverpool to maintain their winning form on Wednesday. Goals at both ends also seems likely. The Reds have seen BTTS in six of their last seven home matches while Chelsea have seen the same outcome in six of their last eight away EPL contests.

Liverpool team news
Klopp, the departing Liverpool manager, can once again rely on full-backs Trent Alexander Arnold and Andy Robertson. Both made their return in Liverpool’s 5:2 victory over Norwich on Sunday.
However, the hosts cannot rely on Mohamed Salah, Joel Matip, Kostas Tsimikas, Thiago Alcantara, and Stefan Bajcetic because of injuries. Moreover, Wataru Endo is still engaged in international duty at the Asian Cup.
