Chelsea Preview & Form
Chelsea took another huge step in keeping their Champions League qualification spot alive by claiming a vital 1-0 victory over Everton at Stamford Bridge last weekend in the league, thanks to a wonderful strike from Nicolas Jackson in the first half. Enzo Maresca’s side now needs to pick up maximum points in their remaining league games to seal top-five hopes and will now come into this game on the back of a five-match unbeaten league run. On Thursday night, the Blues took a huge step towards reaching the Europa Conference League final by beating the Swedish team Djurgarden 3-1 in a dramatic semi-final first leg game in the 3Arena. Currently, the Blues sit fifth in the Premier League standings with 60 points from 34 games, two points behind third-place Newcastle United.
Enzo Maresca’s side has remained a strong side to reckon with at Stamford Bridge this season, as they come into this game riding on an impressive nine-match unbeaten run in the Premier League and have only suffered two defeats at home in the league this season.
Liverpool Preview & Form
Liverpool has little to play for beyond bragging rights after the Reds were newly crowned the Premier League champions for the 19th time in history last weekend. Arne Slot's men hammered Tottenham Hotspur 5-1 in a crucial title-deciding match on Sunday at Anfield, and now they will get a guard of honor onto the pitch at Stamford Bridge on Sunday with four games left to be played. Arne Slot revealed in his press conference his plans of "rotation” for the remainder of Liverpool’s season now that they are Premier League champions, but “We’re going into these four games trying to win them all. All season, the Reds have suffered only two defeats in the Premier League, losing 1-0 to Nottingham at home earlier in the season and a 3-2 loss to Fulham at the Craven Cottage stadium in the second half of the season.
Arne Slot's men are enjoying an impressive road record, losing just once in all their Premier League away games this season. However, they will come to Stamford Bridge in search of their first league win at the stadium since 2020, with each of the games ending in a draw.
Injuries, suspensions and availability in the Liverpool men's squad.
