Chelsea to come out on top in Friday night thriller against Liverpool

The rivalry between Chelsea and Liverpool has been one of the Premier League’s fiercest over the past decade, with classic games and controversy aplenty.

The pair met 10 times in the Champions League from 2004 to 2009, and have also shared titanic battles in the league and domestic cups, and there is no love lost between either sets of fans and players.

They meet again tonight at Stamford Bridge with no less intensity to their rivalry, and another epic match is in store between two intriguing teams.

Chelsea’s Eden Hazard has impressed so far this season

Chelsea’s start to this season has been poles apart from their beginning to last year — they’re unbeaten with 10 points out of a possible 12, and sit in second spot.

Diego Costa hasn’t lost any of his famed aggression, but has been channeling it towards scoring goals, and Eden Hazard looks back to the form that saw him claim the PFA Player of the Year when the Blues won the title in 2014.

Liverpool have showed signs of excellence, but frustratingly for their fans, have been just as inconsistent.

The four-goal dismantlings of Arsenal and Leicester hint at a team that can beat any in the league, though the 2–0 reversal at Burnley shows they can also be beaten by any as well.

Predicting what will happen tonight is tough, but I think Chelsea will come out on top. Liverpool’s defence has been less than exemplary, and I don’t think they’ll be able to keep Costa and Hazard quiet for long.

A Chelsea victory is 2.21 with Sportsbet.io, which I like the look of.

I’m really excited about this game, and I think there will be goals.

Liverpool are the second highest scorers in the league, and could really test a Chelsea defence that will include David Luiz for the first time since his return to Stamford Bridge.

The over 4.5 goals scored at 5.06 with Sportsbet.io looks a shrewd bet.

Steven Gerrard’s slip against Chelsea is an all-time classic Premier League moment

Hopefully I won’t be let down, but this has all the makings of a Premier League classic.

It’s 101.00 for Chelsea to win the game 4–3, and that could be worth an investment tonight.
