Premier League predictions for Liverpool vs Chelsea
My Liverpool vs Chelsea best bet: Liverpool -1 (+185 at Sports Interaction)
This is a great spot to ignore Liverpool’s juiced moneyline and go for a handicap instead.
Liverpool leads the Premier League with 0.35 goals per accurate shot. They’re facing a Chelsea defense allowing opponents to put 39.2% of their shots on target, the highest rate in the league.
Four of Chelsea’s last five Premier League matches have seen them not only concede three goals but also lose by multiple goals.
With the mistake-prone Filip Jorgensen likely starting in goal for the Blues, there’s real value in backing the Reds to clinch a Champions League spot in style.
Liverpool vs Chelsea same-game parlay (SGP)
Liverpool -1
Virgil van Dijk 1+ shots
Florian Wirtz 1+ shots on target
Chelsea has conceded 16 goals from corner kicks this season, just one shy of the most in the league.
Virgil van Dijk is Liverpool’s most dangerous weapon on corners, and he’s registered a shot in seven of his last 10 Premier League matches because of it.
Florian Wirtz has put together a solid second half to the campaign with his playmaking, but he’s also a threat to test the keeper.
Given how we’re looking for the Reds to test Jorgensen, this is a good spot for him to put an effort on target for the seventh time in nine Premier League outings at Anfield.
