Liverpool FC make a trip to West London after a goal fest at Anfield against Leeds United. The defending champions are looking to continue their PL winning streak against the blues. #Liverpool #Chelsea #CHELIV
Chelsea await the Reds at the Stamford Bdidge after winning against Brighton on Monday night in a however below par performance. #Chelsea #Liverpool
Liverpool are expected to be set up in their usual 4-3-3 formation with Fabinho starting ahead of Keita. Klopp would be looking to shield his defence that conceded 3 against newly promoted side Leeds United #Klopp #Liverpoolfc
Frank Lampard is known for his unpredictable formations and it would be interesting to see how he sets his team up this season especially after the arrival of 5 new players in a 200M+ spending spree over the summer #Lampard #Chelsea
Whispers coming in from the bridge indicates that Frankie prefers a 4-2-3-1 formation for his long term project. However, injuries, issues on match fitness, lack of pre-season and the magnitude of this fixture means he’d most likely deploy a formation to suit Liverpool’s style.
Frank is likely to deploy a 3-4-3 formation, similar to the last time the two sides met. We expect Giroud to play as ST with Werner and Havertz/Mount on either side of him. Azpi will slot in at the back with Zouma and Christensen. #Havertz #Werner
Liverpool are a machine!... with a high pressing which quickly transitions into attack once they are on the ball. We expect them to try and work out spaces on the wings so their full backs can swing in dangerous crosses to their forwards. #TAA #Trent #Liverpool
We expect Lampard to go with a seated 3-man defence with wingbacks James x Alonso tasked with minimizing Liverpool’s wing play. Kovacic will likely partner Kante in midfield on Sunday. #Kante #Kovacic
Liverpool will be counting on their frontmen on Sunday to pull out Chelsea’s 3 CBS out of position, #Firmino would need to play more as a proper 9 to take up positions in between Chelsea’s CBs and use paces which may be left out as well. Starting #Origi may be beneficial
Chelsea should be looking at attacking Liverpool’s right side. Trent and Gomez are known for their defensively problems and attacking that side would be beneficial to Lampard’s side.
Timo Werner will be looking to pick up positions in between Trent and Gomez and would use his fast pace to get on flicks and passes into space down the left. #Werner #Chelsea
Liverpool’s best bet will be to start Naby Keita along Fabinho and Henderson/ Gini. Keita can use his dribbles and runs to break up lines and he’s a very good passer on the ball as well. Hence, the reds can easily use the middle route if Chelsea manage to stop supply from wide.
Chelsea’s best bet is to stop Liverpool’s full backs as much as possible and sending long balls into Olivier Giroud with their 2 number 10s ready to attack spaces left in behind. A pacy counter attack could reward the blues goals. #Giroud #Chelsea
Prediction: O’Brien expects a draw. (2-2)
Peter expects a draw (1-1)
Harry expects a win for Liverpool (2-1) #CHELIV #EPL #FPL

#FPLWatch #FPL Mohammed Salah in his red hot form is likely to reward managers with points. Keep an eye on Timo Werner who’s in search of his 1st official goal for CFC. He’ll be crucial to #CFC’s attack on Sunday
