Liverpool vs Chelsea – 09/05/2026
Premier League | Match Preview
Liverpool return to Anfield looking to strengthen their top-four position against a Chelsea side struggling for consistency away from home. The Reds remain one of the league’s strongest home teams, while Chelsea continue searching for stability in both defence and attack.
Recent Head-to-Head (Liverpool vs Chelsea)
Recent meetings between these sides have been closely contested. Liverpool and Chelsea have each won two of the last five encounters, while one match finished level. Four of those games produced over 2.5 goals, underlining the attacking quality often seen in this fixture.
Liverpool have generally looked stronger at Anfield in recent meetings and will once again rely on home advantage heading into this clash.
Recent Form
Liverpool have won three of their last six matches in all competitions, averaging 1.5 goals scored per game. Despite some inconsistent results recently, Arne Slot’s side continue to create chances regularly and remain difficult to beat at home.
At Anfield, Liverpool have won two of their last three matches while averaging 1.67 goals scored per game. They’ve also remained unbeaten in 10 of their previous 12 Premier League home fixtures.
Chelsea continue to struggle for consistency. The Blues have managed just one victory from their last six matches in all competitions and are averaging only 0.67 goals scored across their previous three away games.
Defensively, Chelsea have also looked vulnerable, conceding an average of 1.67 goals per game during their last six outings. Their away form remains a major concern ahead of this difficult trip to Merseyside.
Season Overview
Liverpool currently sit fourth in the Premier League standings with 59 goals scored in 35 matches and a healthy +12 goal difference. Their strong home performances have played a major role in keeping them firmly in the race for Champions League qualification.
Chelsea sit ninth after another inconsistent campaign. Although they have shown flashes of quality going forward, defensive issues and poor away form have prevented them from mounting a serious challenge for the top positions.
Key Trends
- Liverpool are unbeaten in 10 of their last 12 Premier League home matches.
- Liverpool have won 12 of their last 20 league games at Anfield.

Chelsea
Sánchez; Gusto, Fofana, Chalobah, Hato, Cucurella; Caicedo, Enzo Fernández; Palmer; João Pedro, Delap
Prediction
Liverpool should control large periods of possession and create the stronger attacking opportunities, particularly with Chelsea struggling defensively away from home. While Chelsea still possess dangerous attacking players capable of scoring, Liverpool’s home form gives them the clear edge.
Chelsea are likely to adopt a cautious approach and look to counter through Cole Palmer and João Pedro, but Liverpool’s intensity at Anfield could prove decisive over 90 minutes.
Prediction: Liverpool 2–1 Chelsea
Win Probability: Liverpool 75% (model-based, aligned with current form trends)
