Sports Innovation previews the Premier League match between Chelsea and Liverpool and offers team stats, betting tips and the latest odds.
With their title hopes already on the line, Chelsea and Liverpool lock horns at Stamford Bridge in a must-win clash.
Manchester City have opened up a daunting 11-point lead over second-placed Chelsea in the Premier League table, with Liverpool a further point and spot behind in third.
Stopping City will take something special now. The last thing these two clubs need is to drop more points, but the signs are ominous. They’re both dogged by injury and coronavirus absences. Chelsea also have mounting problems in defense and the fallout from Romelu Lukaku’s explosive interview to handle, while Liverpool have picked up just one point from their last two games.
