Team news

Chelsea news

With a hamstring injury that will keep him out for a while, Reece James left Stamford Bridge on crutches on Wednesday night.
Andreas Christensen's back problems persisted against Brighton, and he was eventually pulled off at half-time. He has to be regarded as a prominent skeptic.
Thiago Silva is a significant doubt after failing to recuperate from a hamstring injury in midweek. Chelsea's injury difficulties at the back continue.
Unless Thomas Tuchel is happy to play Callum Hudson-Odoi or Christian Pulisic at right wing-back against Liverpool, Malang Sarr might get a rare start at the back.
N'Golo Kante was expected to miss another game due to a knee injury, but he came off the bench against Brighton.
Tuchel was able to start Romelu Lukaku, who also scored a goal, while Kai Havertz was an unused substitute.
Liverpool's Timo Werner and Ruben Loftus-Cheek are unlikely to make the trip to Anfield on Sunday.

Liverpool news

After Liverpool's match against Chelsea, Sadio Mane, Mo Salah, and Naby Keita all flew to the African Cup of Nations.
Because Andy Robertson is still out, Kostas Tsimikas will start at left-back.
If Joel Matip rotates out the side, Ibrahima Konate or Joe Gomez are on standby.
After missing the defeat to Leicester due to muscle soreness, Thiago was not seen in training on Thursday.

Match facts

Chelsea has gone undefeated in 13 of their previous 14 Premier League games.
Under 2.5 goals have been scored in Chelsea's last three encounters versus Liverpool in all competitions.

Chelsea vs Liverpool prediction

After a 1-1 draw with Brighton on Wednesday, Chelsea has taken just nine points from the past 18 available. Thomas Tuchel continues to bemoan Chelsea's injury and COVID woes, claiming that things on the pitch aren't working like they were earlier in the season. They've only kept one clean sheet in their last eight league games, and
Edouard Mendy will depart for the African Cup of Nations following this encounter.

In midweek, Liverpool was given a major blow in the title chase after losing 1-0 to Leicester. They might be 12 points behind Manchester City by the time they face
Chelsea on Sunday, despite having a game in hand, but the deficit could be too huge to close even at halftime.

Chelsea has lost three of their past five Premier League home games to Liverpool, and a repeat performance wouldn't be surprising considering their recent form.

Prediction: Chelsea 1-2 Liverpool
