Liverpool welcome Chelsea at Anfield, Liverpool on Saturday, May 1 at 4:00 PM in a Premier League fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.

Liverpool come into this fixture drawing too many games (3D in last 5). Chelsea travel in mixed form (2W 1D 2L), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Liverpool won their last outing, while Chelsea suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Liverpool and Chelsea have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (3W–5D–2W). Their last encounter ended in a 1–1 draw. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.6 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: Little separates these two on form or history. Home advantage could be the deciding factor — a narrow Liverpool win or a draw looks most likely.
