🔮 Prediction

In our opinion, Chelsea will need to put in a solid display to breach the defence of this Liverpool team who we think should manage to get a goal of their own in a winning performance.

Therefore, we predict a good battle with a 1-0 victory for Liverpool at the end of the 90 minutes.

We’re expecting it to be that close.
