Chelsea vs Liverpool: Predictions , Preview, Lineups, H2h for October 4, 2025

This Saturday, Stamford Bridge in London will host the key match of Premier League Matchday 7, featuring Chelsea against league leaders Liverpool. Given the current form of both teams, a bet on goals seems promising.

Match Preview

Chelsea started strong but has recently stumbled, losing two games in a row to Manchester United and Brighton. In these matches, they allowed two or more goals, highlighting their defensive weaknesses, especially against aggressive attackers.

At home, Chelsea is still a formidable team, with only one loss in their last 13 Premier League matches at Stamford Bridge. However, injuries in defense may be a concern, as they often concede even when playing at home.

After five straight victories, Liverpool faced an unexpected defeat against Crystal Palace, losing 1-2. Nonetheless, they have maintained their scoring ability, with goals in every Premier League game this season, marking a 40-match scoring streak.

On the road, Liverpool poses a challenge to opponents, having scored in 24 consecutive away league matches. However, their defense has struggled, allowing at least two goals in five of their last seven away games. This sets the stage for another high-scoring match in London, with both teams likely to score.

Probable Lineups

• Chelsea: Sanchez, James, Hato, Chalobah, Cucurella, Caicedo, Fernandez, Santos, Neto, Jesus, Estevan
• Liverpool: Alisson, Kerkez, Konate, van Dijk, Bradley, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Wirtz, Gravenberch, Salah, Isak
