Last season Liverpool's 2-0 defeat at the hands of Chelsea probably cost them the title. The Reds did finish above Chelsea in the league table but Manchester City clinched the title. This season has started much worse for Liverpool, they are seventh in the league with just four wins out of ten in the Premier League. Chelsea are 12 points clear of Liverpool at the top of the table.
The Reds are also in danger in the Champions League group, they were defeated by Real Madrid again in midweek. Chelsea recorded a disappointing 1-1 draw with Maribor in Slovenia but they remain top of their group and still undefeated this season.
Diego Costa should be in the starting eleven, while Thibaut Courtois and Gary Cahill should also feature after being rested in midweek. Brendan Rodgers also rested some players against Real Madrid, no less than seven, and they all should make the first eleven on Saturday: Steven Gerrard, Raheem Sterling, Mario Balotelli, Philippe Coutinho, Dejan Lovren, Glen Johnson and Jordan Henderson. Daniel Sturridge, Mamadou Sakho, Jose Enrique, Suso and John Flanagan are all sidelined for the Reds.
Probable starting line-ups:
Liverpool: Mignolet - Johnson, Skrtel, Lovren, Moreno - Henderson, Gerrard, Allen, Coutinho - Sterling, Balotelli
Chelsea: Courtois - Ivanovic, Terry, Cahill, Azpilicueta - Matic, Fabregas, Ramires - Oscar, Hazard - Costa
My prediction: Chelsea to win 2-1.
Here are the odds for the match at Bet365:
Liverpool win - 12/5 Draw - 12/5 Chelsea win - 13/10

As Anderson said, really poor performance by Liverpool. It starts to show that Liverpool singings are just not good for Premier league. Lot of wasted money by Brendan Rodgers. Chelsea is playing really great this season, other teams are going to have to put a lot of effort to stop their streak. Nemanja Matic, what a beast!!

Another disapointing performance from Liverpool.They have managed disapoint their fans again.They must start playing better if they want to get in the top of the table.Chelsa was better team .Costa proved that he really is one of the best strikers in the world at the moment.

Chelsea come back after 1-0 and win 2-1 at the end and that is how champions play. for me it is clear who will win premier league.

Wich team can stop Chelsea in Premier League? There was 2,25 odds for Chelsea. This odds was very value it was the surest match of the day. Fortunately I bet on them and i doubling my money. Blue team of londod did a very good enrollment with Diego Costa. He is the second behind Agüero on the list of top goal scorers....

Blue team of londod did a very good enrollment with Diego Costa. He is the second behind Agüero on the list of top goal scorers. If he keeps his form he should win this title in the end of year. It's almost 99% that Chelsea wins the Premier League and they have a big chance to win Champions League. I expekt a Bayern Munich - Chelsea final.

Very good game for Diego Costa. He scored showing that injury is behind him. Liverpool proved that they are in big crisis and coach Rodgers must do something to get them back on the track. Mourinho just showed that Chelsea is much better team playing football just the way he likes. Very good game. After draw between QPR...
Very good game for Diego Costa. He scored showing that injury is behind him. Liverpool proved that they are in big crisis and coach Rodgers must do something to get them back on the track. Mourinho just showed that Chelsea is much better team playing football just the way he likes. Very good game. After draw between QPR and Manchester City this is going to be pretty boring season for Premier League standards.

Wow, great game. Chelsea showed their quality and managed to beat Liverpool. Liverpool has reached the very early advantage, but Chelsea equalized immediately. Diego Costa is credited with the victory of his team. I am pleased with the game Celsea. I think he will win the Premier League because it is in great shape.

Like we can see in start of the match this would be very interesting one. Goal line system was so good in this situation, and we see that Mignole is didn't complaining about it so obviosly this was a goal. Despite this fact, I believe in Liverpool's win today because I see that they are playing very good. After Hamman Can...
