Liverpool vs Chelsea Tips

Tip 1

Only Cole Palmer has won more free-kicks between the two teams than Ryan Gravenberch’s total of 12.

He’s been fouled twice in four of his seven league games for Liverpool this season, including in four of the last five.

Gravenberch is set to face off directly against Moises Caicedo, who has committed 13 fouls in seven games and could singlehandedly get this bet over the line.

Tip 2

It really is all about the midfield battle in Sunday’s clash, particularly between the screening work done by Ryan Gravenberch and the offensive drive Cole Palmer will bring.

Only five players have won more fouls than Cole Palmer’s tally of 15, and his dribbling skills require no further explanation.

To add to that, both of Gravenberch’s yellows this season have come at Anfield.
