Chelsea vs. Liverpool Prediction: Premier League Odds, Expert Picks & Best Bets

There should be plenty of drama at Stamford Bridge in London, as my Chelsea vs. Liverpool prediction breaks down a battle between Premier League heavyweights looking to secure statement victories in Saturday’s marquee matchup.

The fireworks will begin at 12:30 p.m. ET (NBC Sports), with Liverpool coming into the contest as the +135 favorite to beat Chelsea despite their recent struggles. Meanwhile, Chelsea have endured their own troubles in the Premier League after losing their last two games.

Although neither club comes into this game in great form, my soccer picks anticipate a feisty affair that could include lots of goals. I also pick one Liverpool player whose aggressiveness might come into play against Chelsea.

✅ Chelsea vs. Liverpool expert pick

🎊 Both teams to score (-200) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

History will repeat at Stamford Bridge, as I’m picking both teams to score. It’s a bet that’s come through in four of the last five meetings between Liverpool and Chelsea. 

And it’s a bet that is likely to hit again given that neither team has impressed much defensively this season. Liverpool’s strong attack and Chelsea’s press-heavy approach should make for an exciting fixture - and a nightmare for defenses at both ends of the pitch.

Reigning Premier League champions Liverpool have 12 goals in six games, while Chelsea have 11 despite dropping their last two Premier League games against Brighton and Manchester United.

The Blues will also look to exploit the areas of weakness that emerged after Liverpool lost their last two games. A winning $10 for both teams to score over at bet365 pays a profit of $5 at -200 odds.

🟨 Ryan Gravenberch yellow card (+380) ⭐⭐⭐

Things could get physical when Liverpool try to get Chelsea out of rhythm. Look for Ryan Gravenberch to pick up a yellow card when he faces Chelsea, especially if he goes up against Joao Pedro or Moises Caicedo.

Both Chelsea players are among the most fouled in the Premier League. Pedro has been fouled 13 times and Caicedo 12 times. 

Of the two, Caicedo could be the likeliest to get run over by Gravenberch. The Ecuador international serves as the link between Chelsea's defense and attack, and he operates primarily in the part of the field where Gravenberch roams.

Gravenberch already has two yellows after finishing second at Liverpool last season with six yellow cards. The best odds are over at DraftKings, with a $10 bet netting a profit of $38.
