Moise Casedo (centre, Chelsea) gets past Liverpool's defence
Chelsea remain fully focused on securing a Champions League place, while Arne Slot's Reds approach the game with a more sedate approach after their title celebrations at the weekend. Chelsea are currently fifth in the table but their 60 points have been caught by Aston Villa, so if they fail to beat Liverpool, the Blues will also be overtaken by Nottingham Forest (if they beat Crystal Palace in the late game).
Both Wesley Fofana and Marc Guiu are still in the recovery room but there are no suspended players for the home side. Chelsea will have to struggle to get points against Liverpool despite not winning any of their last seven meetings.
Liverpool don't have much to play for tonight and with Chelsea needing points, it's likely the leaders will go home empty-handed. Diogo Jota, Curtis Jones and Darwin Nunez are all pushing for a start, while Joe Gomez remains in the treatment room. Conor Bradley is a major doubt and will be assessed before kick-off.
Earlier this season, Liverpool beat Chelsea 2-1 at Anfield and another high-scoring game is expected.

The odds of Chelsea accepting half a goal and losing money (winning only 82) is quite strange considering the balance of power. But Chelsea must win this match if they do not want to see Nottingham Forest surpass them. In the last 3 rounds, Chelsea will have to face Newcastle, Manchester United and then play at Nottingham.
So they put all their determination into this match to compete for a Champions League spot. A win against Liverpool would be very valuable because if they lose Chelsea could lose their Champions League place, costing them at least £10-15m next season. The question is whether Liverpool will give in to them.
Head-to-head history shows that a victory for Chelsea is very surprising because they have not won against Liverpool in the last 7 meetings, but Chelsea fans can believe in miracles, as Bournemouth just won at Emirates although they have never won at Arsenal. Choosing Chelsea will be more fun .
The most popular score is 1-1 with a payout of only 7.9. Next is Chelsea's win with 2-1 priced at 8.8, 1-0 at 11 and 2-0 at 12. On the contrary, few people believe in Liverpool's determination with 1-2 priced at 11, 0-1 at 14 and 0-2 at 20.
