Liverpool v Chelsea prediction and team news: Who will win Premier League game?
Our predictions for Liverpool v Chelsea in the Premier League, including who we think will win and predicted line-ups.
Liverpool and Chelsea face off in a battle to revitalise their dire campaigns.
The Reds have gone from chasing a quadruple to languishing in ninth in the Premier League table in less than a year and their season hit a new low when crashing to a 3-0 defeat at Brighton last weekend.
Chelsea pulled the trigger on Thomas Tuchel early in the campaign but their form has continued to dip under Graham Potter and they are a place lower than their hosts in 10th at the halfway point.
The Blues are unbeaten in their last two trips to Anfield but head to Merseyside with a lengthy injury list and loanee Joao Felix unavailable due to suspension, but big-money signing Mykhaylo Mudryk could make his debut.
Liverpool earned a morale-boosting FA Cup victory over Wolves in midweek and Jurgen Klopp will be eager to avoid recording a third-straight Premier League defeat for the first time in nearly two years.

Liverpool v Chelsea prediction
A potentially scrappy affair between two out of form teams that are drinking in the last-chance saloon when it comes to their remote hopes of a top-four finish.
Liverpool's form on their travels has been their Achilles heel this season but a return of six wins from nine games at Anfield makes Jurgen Klopp's teams one of the best on home soil.
Mohamed Salah is due a goal as he's not scored in the Premier League since Boxing Day and he normally steps up to the plate in key games.
Chelsea have lost half of their matches on the road and last tasted victory in a Premier League away game in October so it's hard to imagine they will leave Merseyside with any points.
Our prediction: Liverpool 2-1 Chelsea (17/2 at bet365)
