Chelsea will look to carry on their victory march and knock out another potential title contender out for good when they square up to Liverpool at Anfield. The form of the two teams could not be more contrasting than this right now. While Chelsea have won 16 out of their last 17 games, the Reds have notched up a single win in their last 8 games. The win was against Plymouth and they have been reduced to shambles lately.
Chelsea, on the other hand, are buzzing right now. Having effectively disposed of every challenge which has come their way, Antonio Conte’s men are actually feared in the league now. A quality which had gone missing for quite a long time in the English Premier League. Winning against them is something not a lot of teams think about while preparing the gameplan and though Tottenham did show the League how it’s done, the match seems to have been a one-off.
The clash against Liverpool will be the highlight of the Matchday 23 fixtures and will have huge repercussions at the top. For Liverpool, it will be a make or break game and they will look to play out of their skins and make sure not to lose the game at the very least.
Predicted 3-4-3 Chelsea Lineup To Hand Liverpool Their Fourth Successive Defeat At Anfield
DEFENCE
Courtois will look to keep a clean sheet and play a telling role in what will be a season-defining match for one of the two teams. The super-solid backline has made him the clear-cut leader for the Golden Glove this season and he will be hopeful of extending that lead on Saturday.
Azpilicueta will be on the right-side of the back 3 with David Luiz stationed in the middle and Gary Cahill on the left-hand side.
Liverpool will be able to unleash Mane, Coutinho and Firmino after a long time and will hope that they can exploit the rare cracks in the Chelsea defence.
