Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-1
Liverpool
Stamford Bridge will be the centre of attention when Chelsea and Liverpool lock horns in the Premier League derby on Sunday. The Blues remain fully focused on securing a Champions League spot, whereas Arne Slot’s side approach the match with less urgency after celebrating their title triumph over the weekend. Both Wesley Fofana and Marc Guiu remain in the recovery room, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Reds, on the other hand, have little to play for in Sunday’s clash and given Chelsea’s need for points, we predict that the league leaders are going to return home empty-handed. All Diogo Jota, Curtis Jones, and Darwin Nunez are pushing for a start, while Joe Gomez remains in the treatment room. Conor Bradley is a major doubt and will be assessed ahead of the kick-off. Earlier this season, Liverpool defeated Chelsea 2-1 at Anfield and yet another high-scoring affair is on the cards.
Highlighted Player (Mohamed Salah):
Mohamed Salah is considered one of the best African players. Salah began his senior career at El Mokawloon, scoring 11 goals in 41 league appearances for the club and in 2012 he moved to Europe, signing a four-year deal with Swiss side Basel.
The pacey winger, who is capable of playing as a striker as well was producing outstanding displays for the RotBlau from 2012 to 2014 and, as a result, Chelsea chiefs decided to sign him on 26 January, 2015 for a fee of £11 million. Mohamed Salah, though, failed to impress in the Premier league and one year later he was sent on loan to Fiorentina.
After making 16 league appearances for the Viola in the Serie A, the left-footed winger signed a loan deal with Roma on 6 August, 2015. The Romans made the contract permanent on 3 August, 2016. Speaking of his international career, Salah made his Egypt debut on 3 September, 2011 in a 2-1 loss to Sierra Leone. It has to be noted that he was named Roma’s player of the season (2015/2016).
Highlighted Team (Chelsea):
Over the years Chelsea have established themselves as one of the dominant forces in the English Premier League. Roberto Di Matteo helped the team win their first ever Champions League trophy (2011/2012), but it has to be noted that they were more than fortunate to beat Bayern Munich in the title game.
Chelsea have been playing at Stamford Bridge since 1876 and they are a real force to be reckoned with at home. The Blues have won seven FA Cups, five League Cups, two UEFA Cup Winners’ Cups and the UEFA Europa League. Rafael Benitez was in charge of the team that faced Benfica in the 2012/2013 Europa League final, with Branislav Ivanovic scoring the winner for the Blues in the title clash.
After lifting the 2014/2015 Premier League trophy, the Blues largely struggled in the next campaign, which saw Jose Mourinho’s second spell with the club come to an end, and Antoine Conte went over to take the reigns for the 2016/2017 season.
