Chelsea vs Liverpool Tips
Tip 1
Although Arne Slot has confirmed that changes will be made to his side, Mohamed Salah is likely to stay put in the pursuit of another record. The Egyptian is looking to go top for the most goal involvements across a single season, second on 46 currently to Alan Shearer and Andy Cole who both have one more.
His 18 assists in 34 league games, or 23 in 48 across all comps for that matter, make this selection’s price ludicrous if he starts.
He was also the difference maker at Anfield when Liverpool edged Chelsea out in a 2-1 win, returning a goal and an assist that day.
Tip 2
A beneficiary of Slot’s rotation could be Wataru Endo. Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister have been indispensable in Liverpool’s midfield this season, meaning that the Japanese enforcer has been limited to the cameo appearances from the bench.
The No.6 has racked up four fouls in just 19 minutes across his last two games, and has committed 14 fouls in only 158 minutes of top flight football in the 2024/25 campaign.
Although it’s an inflated stat because of these reduced minutes, Endo’s fouls per 90 average of eight is too eye-popping to ignore.
He may only have picked up one yellow this term, but if he is in from the off here then his 5/1 price requires no justification and will plummet before kick-off.

Chelsea Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up
Bringing home a 4-1 advantage from their Europa Conference League semi-final first leg against Djurgarden spells promise for silverware in Enzo Maresca’s first season at Stamford Bridge, however, securing Champions League football for next season will be his first objective.
The Blues still have a number of absentees accounted for: Robert Sanchez and Christopher Nkunku need once-overs after missing Thursday’s win with knocks, while Wesley Fofana, Mykhailo Mudryk, Marc Guiu, Omari Kellyman and Aaron Anselmino are unavailable.
Chelsea Predicted XI: Sanchez; Gusto, Chalobah, Colwill, Cucurella; Caicedo, Fernandez; Madueke, Palmer, Neto; Jackson.
Liverpool Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up
Last Sunday was the deciding moment that Liverpool fans have been eagerly anticipating – the Reds slaughtered Tottenham Hotspur 5-1 to crown their second Premier League title win in stunning fashion; the first of which they are able to enjoy with fans present in the stadium.
The champions are without any further injury concerns beyond Joe Gomez’s hamstring problem after Arne Slot confirmed that Conor Bradley was set to train and could return here.
Liverpool Predicted XI: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Quansah, Van Dijk, Tsimikas; Endo, Jones; Salah, Elliott, Gakpo; Diaz.
