Chelsea v Liverpool prediction

Both teams have been quite impressive this season and they have been difficult to beat.

However, the Blues have been formidable at home since the arrival of Thomas Tuchel and they will be the favourites to pick up all three points here.

Liverpool have a number of injury issues to deal with and the Reds will be lacking in confidence after the defeat to Leicester City.

A home win seems likely.
