On Saturday, Liverpool and Chelsea will lock horns in a highly-anticipated game. Their encounter is the must-watch tie of this round, as Conte’s side travels to Anfield on Saturday.
Victory will be important, as both sides look to keep within a reaching distance of runaway leader Man City. The gap separating Chelsea from Guardiola’s crew is nine points – for Liverpool, it’s a whopping 12.
But of course, there can be only one winner. Here are the stats for and against the Blues winning at Anfield.
FOR
- Chelsea hasn’t lost any of their last five Premier League trips to Anfield, winning two and drawing three.
- The last time the Blues lost at Liverpool was five years ago, going 4-1 down in May 2012.
- The visitor has won seven of their last eight away games in the English top-flight.
- This will be their 55th meeting in all competitions since the start of 2000. In the Premier League, Chelsea has 15 wins compared to Liverpool’s 12.
- From the top 10 clubs in the table so far this season, Liverpool has the second-worst defense, conceding 17 goals – tied with Huddersfield.
AGAINST
- Chelsea hasn’t enjoyed a win in their last five meetings – both home and away – with the Reds (D3, L2).
- Since Klopp arrived, the Merseyside giant has won the most points against the top six (37 from 22 games). That is six more points than Chelsea in as many games.
- They may have an equal number of wins in this clash in the Premier League (19 each), but the Anfield side holds the advantage in the all-time head-to-head record (winning 77 and losing 61).
- Klopp’s crew has kept a clean sheet in seven of their last eight home games in the league this season.
The stats show that both sides are capable of winning. Fortune favors the bold, however, meaning both Liverpool and Chelsea must go for the kill if they wish to walk away with three points.
