Anfield will serve as the host for the match between Liverpool and Chelsea on 5th March 2021 at 01:30 IST. The odds are favoring Liverpool as they are the hosts and also have a good head-to-head record, but Chelsea are in better shape as a team, as they are unbeaten in their last ten matches in all competitions.

Teams Status

The defending champions find themselves fading away slowly after a decent start to the season. They are currently in the sixth position and have accumulated 43 points. They have played 26 matches in the English Premier League this season and have won 12 matches, drew seven and lost seven matches. The Egyptian superstar Mohamed Salah has been in sensational form in front of the goal this season for the Reds. He has scored 17 goals in 25 matches that he has played in the Premier League and is the tournament’s leading goal scorer. He is well supported by Roberto Firmino, as the Brazilian has scored six goals and also has five assists to his name. Liverpool has the fourth-best home record in the league so far. They have seven wins, two draws and four losses. They have scored the third highest number of goals this season with 47 goals and have conceded 34 goals.

Chelsea on the other hand are just one point clear of Liverpool and one point behind West Ham United. Chelsea are currently in the fifth position after 26 matches with 44 points. They have 12 wins, eight draws and six losses. They have a poor away record according to their standards as they have managed just 21 points from 13 matches on the road. Unlike Liverpool, where only one player has taken the bulk of the load in scoring goals, Chelsea have a lot of attacking players who have chipped in with goals this season. Tammy Abraham is leading the goal-scoring list with six goals. While Jorginho and Timo Werner have scored five goals each. Mason Mount and Olivier Giroud have found the back of the net on four occasions. Timo Werner is also leading the assist list with five assists under his belt.

Tipster’s Angel

This is expected to be a very close contest as the winner will take the lead in the points table. Usually, when these two teams play against other opponents, we see a lot of goals. But when two top-scoring teams face each other, we rarely see any high-scoring games. So, this is more likely to be a low-scoring thriller.

Tip: Total Goals Under 3 @ 1.66

In the last five head-to-head matches in all competitions, over three goals were scored in just two matches. The final result was 2-2 in one of those matches, where two goals were scored in extra time of the UEFA Super Cup. So, by considering the 90-minute mark, under three goals were scored in four matches. Also, under three goals were scored in three of the last five matches that Liverpool has played in all competitions. Even Liverpool’s home record suggests that the total goals are likely to be under three, as four of the last five matches had under three goals. Apart from that, Chelsea have seen under three goals in all their last five matches that they have played in all competitions. And also, not a single match has seen over three goals in the last five away matches that Chelsea has played. So, it is very likely that this one also might be a low-scoring game and a total under three goals at 1.66 odds available at the Dafabet sportsbook.

Tip: Mohamed Salah To Score @ 1.95

Mohamed Salah has been in spectacular form since he has joined Liverpool from AS Roma. He is in his fourth season at Liverpool and has netted 90 goals in the English Premier League so far for the club. In the current season, he has scored 17 goals in the 25 matches that he has played. And also, he is ten goals ahead of Sadio Mane, who is the team’s second-highest goal scorer. He has taken six penalties so far and has converted all of them. He has a decent record against Chelsea as he has netted five goals in 14 appearances against the Blues. Apart from that, he has scored five goals in his last seven matches. So there is every chance that Mohamed Salah will find the back of the net against this Chelsea defense at 1.95 odds available at the 10Cric sportsbook.

Conclusion

Both the teams want to forget the season that they have had so far and focus on at least making it to the four and qualify for the Champions League next year. Liverpool have had a poor run of form at home recently and would focus on turning Anfield into their fortress again. But Chelsea on the other hand will look to pounce on the poor form of their opponents at home.
