- Chelsea is predicted to be a -0.5-goal home favorite against Liverpool.
- Liverpool has won seven of its last eight EPL matches.
- My Chelsea vs. Liverpool prediction depends on the Liverpool Starting XI.
After clinching the league title against Tottenham, Liverpool will travel to London for a league meeting with Chelsea.ย
The Reds have little for which to play after securing the title. No Premier League records are within reach for Arne Slotโs side, which has lost only twice all season.ย
Chelsea arrive at Sundayโs match with significant meaning attached to it. The Blues occupy the final Champions League spot on goal difference and sit only two points from third.ย
Check out the Premier League odds and my Chelsea vs. Liverpool prediction.ย

Liverpool vs Chelsea: Prediction
Depending on the Liverpool Starting XI on Sunday, my Chelsea vs Liverpool prediction is Chelsea Over 1.5 Goals (-120).ย
The motivation is clearly baked into the line as Liverpool could easily elect to rest some starters.ย
If thatโs the case, the match likely mirrors Liverpoolโs match at PSV Eindhoven from this seasonโs Champions League.ย
In that match, Slot rested Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Ibrahima Konate.ย
The match saw Liverpoolโs defense struggle with the Reds allowing three goals off 2.2 post-shot xG in the Netherlands, per fbref.com.ย
For Chelsea, their attack remains a massive positive regression candidate based on season-long metrics.ย
Chelsea scored 57 non-own goals this season against 63.6 post-shot xG. At -6.6 under expectation, Chelsea owns the second-largest underperformance in the league.ย
For Liverpool, theyโve recently shown glimpses of weak defensive form away from home.ย
Slotโs side has surrendered two or fewer goals only nine times this season, seven of which have come away from home.ย
Of those seven failures, three have come in their previous five road matches.ย
If Liverpool deploys a backup defense, it looks like a strong spot to back Chelseaโs positive regression. Accordingly, Iโll wait for the lineups and decide at that point.ย
