Premier League: Liverpool vs Chelsea

Liverpool vs Chelsea Betting Tip and Predictions. In the midweek Round 30, in Premier League, Liverpool take on Chelsea. Read below betting preview, useful info and predictions for the match between Liverpool vs Chelsea.

Liverpool stand at the 8th position and they still have a chance to finish the season in the Top 6. If they manage to do that they would play in the Europa League, but for them is more important match against Sevilla in the final of the UEFA Europa League because the winner of that competition will qualify directly in the Champions League next season. Liverpool have managed to reach the final of Europa League after they eliminated Villarreal beating them at Anfield 3-0. In the previous round they beat Watford 2-0, despite the fact that they have been played with mixed squad, because their manager Jurgen Klopp was rested few regular players. For this game, he will again rest some players because the match against Sevilla in Basel on 18th May is the match of the season for them. It doesn’t mean that they don’t want to win this game. Liverpool have already beat Chelsea 1-3 in the first half of the season and they want to beat them again and keep good atmosphere in team before the match against Sevilla.

Chelsea play terrible this season and they can’t wait to finish their participation in Premier League and take some rest. Last season champions have many problems this season. Their coach José Mourinho left the club after very poor result, while their new coach Guus Hiddink brought some positive energy in team, but nothing special. They are standing at the 9th position. In the previous round they lost against Sunderland 3-2, despite the fact that they lead on that match twice. John Terry was sent off on that game and he will miss the last two matches in Premier League, and it could mean that the match against Sunderland was his last game in Chelsea. Visitors are playing very open and interesting matches in the recent period. In the last 4 matches we’ve seen at least three goals on their matches, so I believe the game between Liverpool vs Chelsea could be another interesting match with many goals.
