Premier League on Sky Sports: Chelsea vs Liverpool betting preview and tips
Stamford Bridge plays host to a heavyweight Premier League showdown this Saturday as Chelsea welcome league leaders Liverpool to west London.
Enzo Maresca’s side is still hunting consistency, while the visitors arrive looking to steady themselves after a bit of a rocky patch.
With title ambitions on one side and growing pressure on the other, the stakes feel quietly significant.
Here, Sports New Blitz outlines all the best bets and key stats ahead of the clash.
The tale so far
Chelsea’s 3-1 home defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion last weekend exposed familiar frailties, most notably with their discipline as Trevoh Chalobah saw red.
A narrow midweek win over Benfica, sealed by a Richard Ríos own goal, offered some relief but witnessed yet another red card, this time for João Pedro.
It was the Blues’ third dismissal of the season, which is a mounting concern for Maresca as he looks to bring control to a chaotic campaign.
Liverpool, too, are navigating choppy waters after back-to-back defeats – a last-gasp loss to Crystal Palace and a European stumble in Istanbul at the hands of Galatasaray.
Arne Slot’s men haven’t quite clicked this term, but their ability to grind out results has kept them at the summit.
Saturday offers a chance to reassert their dominance or for Chelsea to throw a well-timed spanner in the works.

Best bets
Mohamed Salah to have 1+ shots on target
Salah has been a consistent threat under Slot this season, recording a shot on target in each of his last three league appearances.
And with a goal in one of his last two trips to Stamford Bridge, he won’t be intimidated by the surroundings.
Alexander Isak to have 1+ shots on target
Isak’s campaign has been disrupted by fitness concerns, restricting his playing time more than he hoped.
However, Hugo Ekitike’s recent injury has handed the Swedish forward a prime opportunity to establish himself as a regular starter.
Last season, Isak averaged 1.4 shots on target per game, cementing his reputation as one of the league’s most accurate finishers.
Over 8 corners
Both teams boast some of the highest corner counts in the division, reflecting their aggressive attacking styles.
Moreover, as they battle to control the match, quick transitions are likely to generate even more set pieces for either side.
