Liverpool and Chelsea have delivered a "par" performance up to now, to use a golf expression. Both teams reside in mid-table places in the Premier League.

Insights:
  • Liverpool have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded at home.
  • Liverpool have scored at least twice as many goals at home as Chelsea have scored away.

There have been limited time to rest for the home side, as they featured in a FA Cup fixture only four days back. That game was an away game at Wolverhampton Wanderers, so at least Liverpool are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Chelsea form and stats

3 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses. That’s the product of Chelsea playing as the away team in the Premier League this season.

The club members enjoyed Chelsea's previous fixture versus Crystal Palace (placed 12th), a 1-0 win played at home. Those three points felt good as this team had gone three league matches without victory. Goalkeeper Arrizabalaga got the top player rating of the team with 8.3/10. Arrizabalaga topped it up with a clean sheet.

Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Fulham's place.

Few goals the story here? 9 of this side's latest 11 league matches have contained two or less goals.
