Chelsea vs Liverpool predictions
Chelsea won 3-0 at Leeds on Wednesday, snapping a three-game losing streak. Mateo Kovacic, however, was wounded as a result of the victory.
After defeating Chelsea on penalties in the League Cup final earlier this year, Liverpool is hoping to clinch a domestic cup double. They haven't lost since December when they were away from home.
In their last five meetings, Jurgen Klopp has failed to beat Thomas Tuchel in regular time, but it's difficult not to choose Liverpool on Saturday.
