Chelsea vs Liverpool Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Premier League 2024-25

Arne Slot’s men have already defeated the Blues once this season.

Chelsea are ready to host Liverpool in the match week 35 of the English Premier League 2024-25 season at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea are in fifth spot on the Premier League points table. Enzo Maresca’s men are in a tight battle to secure the UEFA Champions League spot for the upcoming season. The Blues will be at home for the upcoming fixture against the Reds, which they will use in their advantage.

Liverpool have already been crowned as the Premier League champions for this season. Arne Slot’s men came up with some great performances this season which at least helped them grab the league title. Even though they have defeated the Blues once this season, this is not going to be an easy fixture for them.
