CHELSEA
Chelsea have had to endure a torrid winter period with a long list of absentees occasioned by the Outbreak of COVID-19 and injuries.
Blues manager, Thomas Tuchel has been quite vocal about the hectic schedules and Lack of concession from the Premier League which meant that he has had to navigate a difficult period with a thin squad.
Last time out they were pegged back by Brighton who deservedly took a point at the death courtesy of Daniel Welbeck’s equalizer. Quite a number of regulars will be missing for the hosts and they will have to face an equally wounded Liverpool with a light squad.
LIVERPOOL
Liverpool will be ruing their surprising loss to Leicester City in their last Premier League outing. The Reds had earlier dumped the Foxes out of the EFL Cup on penalties after a thrilling 3-3 draw.
Liverpool were favoured to take all three points at the Kingpower, and true to form, they started as a House on fire which culminated in a penalty in favour of Liverpool. Mo Salah took the penalty, but he couldn’t bury it.
Eventually, a second-half goal from Lookman Ademola ensured that Brendan Rodgers’ men secured all three points on the night.
With the prospect of losing further ground on Manchester City, Liverpool will view a date with the under-strength Chelsea as a chance to move into second and reduce the gap at the top.
