Liverpool odds of beating Chelsea are set at 1.62 (4/7), and they have the home advantage here. The Blues’ last win at Anfield was three years ago, and they are underdogs at 5.00 (4/1) on the Liverpool vs Chelsea odds. A draw is valued at 4.00 (3/1) on the bookmakers.
Liverpool has beaten Chelsea twice this year, and they have not lost to the Blues in five consecutive matches. There were three different scorers on the scoresheet for Liverpool in their 4-1 win over Chelsea at Anfield.
Liverpool is having a brilliant start to the season, and it looks like the club faithful will not miss Jurgen Klopp’s absence. Arne Slot has won his first two games in the UEFA Champions League and has led his team to the top of the Premier League table after seven games. Liverpool has won their last six matches, and they have only dropped against Nottingham Forest; hence, they are big favorites among the best online soccer bookies.
Federico Chiesa hasn’t really hit the ground since signing for Liverpool and he is doubtful for this game. Alison Becker will be the biggest absentee for Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp will be counting on Vitezslav Jaros.
Chelsea is four points behind Liverpool on the table, and they have only lost to Manchester City in the league this season. The Blues are playing in the Conference League this term, and they won their two starting matchups in the league stage using their reserve players. Chelsea had a big window in the transfer market and they will fancy their chances of finishing in the top four. Enzo Maresca has faced just one top team this season where they lost, but convincing performances like the 6-2 win over Wolves give them hope as they head to Anfield.
The Blues are missing just Reece James through injury, and although he has returned to training, the right back is unfit for this game. Marc Cucurella and Wesley Fofana are suspended for the match against Liverpool.

The Reds have one of the best teams in the world, and Arne Slot seems to have worked his magic on this team. With players like Ryan Gravenberch rejuvenated, there’s a lot of depth on this squad. Liverpool has won six out of seven matches in the Premier League, and they have scored 13 goals in this period.
Chelsea has an exciting team, hitting 16 goals in seven games, but they are nowhere near Liverpool in terms of quality. Both teams are in good form, and a home win & over 2.5 goals is the best option on Liverpool vs Chelsea predictions. A pretty boring tradition of tough draws should be broken with new coaches heading into this matchup.

The FIFA sports betting sites have Chelsea as an underdog here, and it’s not surprising when you look at the team they are up against. Liverpool has conceded just two goals in the English Premier League this term, and they haven’t conceded more than a goal in any game. Chelsea hasn’t scored more than a goal in their last seven meetings with Liverpool, and they shouldn’t score more than a goal here. This is a safe option on Liverpool vs Chelsea betting predictions as Liverpool is very strong at home.

Cole Palmer is unarguably one of the best players in the world and after an exciting campaign last season, the Englishman has hit the ground already with six goals. Much of Chelsea’s football has gone through Cole Palmer, and he is also the penalty taker for the Blues, which increases his chance of scoring. Cole Palmer has five goals in his last three games for Chelsea, and he was on target in the last away game, scoring against West Ham in London. Backing the young forward to score is a very valuable offer on the Liverpool vs Chelsea betting tips.
