Anfield in Liverpool will serve as the host for the match between Liverpool and Chelsea in the third week of the English Premier League on 28th August 2021 at 22:00. The odds are slightly in favor of the hosts Liverpool to sneak a win here.

Teams Status

Liverpool

Liverpool are currently at the top of the English Premier League points table with six points after two matches. They opened their account with a 3-0 win over Norwich City and then backed it up with a 2-0 win over Burnley. Diogo Jota and Sadio Mane’s goal on either side of the half handed them the win over Burnley. Diogo Jota is now the team’s leading goal scorer with two goals. And they have also got contributions from their other three strikers in Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino as these three have netted a goal each. By the looks of it, Jurgen Klopp might start the same playing XI that played against Burnley or he could be eager to start the Scottish skipper who has recovered from his injury. As far as the injury list goes, just Fabinho is on that list.

Chelsea

Chelsea are the joint toppers along with Liverpool in the Premier League points table with six points. They won both their matches quite comfortably. First, they thrashed Crystal Palace at home and then backed it up with a clinical 2-0 win over their London rivals Arsenal. The Belgium goal scoring machine returned to Chelsea after a goal less campaign last time around with a goal in his first start of this season. And Reece James added a second in the first half itself to give them a 2-0 win. Thomas Tuchel will look to field the same playing XI that beat Arsenal. They just have two players on that injury list with Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Christian Pulisic out with injuries.
