According to Liverpool vs Chelsea H2H Stats, Liverpool have won two and drawn three of their previous five matches against Chelsea.

Although Chelsea are undefeated in their last six away matches against Liverpool in all competitions, the Kops have gotten the better of the London club in majority of their meetings in the recent years.

It should be a closely contested affair, but a 2-1 win for Liverpool is the most likely result.
