Chelsea and Liverpool are set to battle in the upcoming Premier League match, and here are five interesting facts leading up to the game. Both teams have been performing inconsistently, struggling to maintain top positions in the league table. Chelsea had to settle for 11th place, while Liverpool currently holds only four points ahead of them. Despite their fluctuating fortunes, this match promises to be a thrilling encounter between two significant clubs.
Firstly, Chelsea has only won twice in their last five Premier League games, against Leeds and Leicester in early March 2023. But the team managed to reach the quarterfinals of the Champions League by beating Dortmund two goals on the second leg despite losing 0-1 in the first match. However, they now face a stern test against the reigning champions, Real Madrid.
On the other hand, Liverpool has only won two of its last five Premier League games, with its last victory against MU, winning seven goals without a response. Unfortunately, they were defeated by Manchester City in a 1-4 scoreline in their latest match. The Reds and The Blues are currently separated by only four points, and a win for Chelsea could bring them closer. It will be an exciting game to watch, with many other teams competing for a Champions League spot.
Interestingly, none of both teams has a player among the top five scorers in the Premier League. Mo Salah, who usually represents Liverpool in the top five, currently ranks fifth in assists. Among them, Saka, Trossard, Eriksen, and Odegaard all have the same number of assists as Salah. As for the Head to Head record, the two clubs drew in four of their latest five games, displaying competitiveness that further adds to the excitement of the match.
Finally, Chelsea and Liverpool’s formidable strength from last season has taken a downturn, with both of them struggling to exhibit their top performance. Liverpool competed closely with Manchester City for the league title until the final matchday when City emerged as champions by a one-point margin. Liverpool, on the other hand, won the Carabao Cup and the FA Cup against Chelsea, failing to secure any silverware despite reaching two finals.
