TEAMS PREVIEW

Chelsea FC Preview

Enzo Maresca and his Chelsea side will be relieved to wave goodbye to a miserable September, a month that yielded no Premier League wins and included a 3-1 Champions League setback against Bayern Munich. 

Since their August triumph over Fulham, the Blues stumbled to a D L L run, raising real concerns. But October begins with renewed hope after a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Benfica in the Champions League, and Maresca will be eager to turn that into the spark for a winning run.

Stats that matter

1. Discipline has become a real concern for Chelsea, with a player sent off in three of their last four matches across all competitions.
2. The Blues have lost four of their last five matches against the reigning champions.
3. Enzo Fernandez has been directly involved in 18 non-penalty goals (8 goals, 10 assists) in all competitions in 2025.

Team News 

Enzo Maresca’s headache only grows with injuries piling up and key names sidelined. Alongside the long-term absentees, Chelsea will be without Palmer, Tosin Adarabioyo, and Wesley Fofana until after the international break, while the in-form Trevoh Chalobah also misses out through suspension after his red card last week. Meanwhile, there are concerns on the availability of midfielder Andrey Santos. 

Chelsea Probable XI - R Sanchez (GL); Marc Cucurella, Badiashile, Acheampong, Reece James (Defenders); Enzo Fernandez,Moises Caicedo, Buonanotte (Midfielders);  Pedro Neto,Joao Pedro, Estevao (Forwards) 

Liverpool FC Preview

After rescuing themselves with late goals in seven straight games, Liverpool’s luck finally ran dry as they slumped to back-to-back defeats in the Premier League and Champions League. 

Crystal Palace stunned them with a stoppage-time winner at Anfield, before Galatasaray handed over a narrow 1-0 blow in Europe. It’s rare to see Arne Slot’s men lose two on the bounce, but such a wake-up call might be exactly what they need to sharpen up and respond.

Stats that matter 

1. The Reds have lost five of their last eight away games in all competitions.
2. Alexander Isak has scored in each of his last two appearances at Stamford Bridge when he was with Newcastle United.
3. On Saturday, Liverpool will try to avoid losing back-to-back games in the league for the first time since 2023.

Team News 

Liverpool have injury worries of their own, though not as extensive as Chelsea’s. Star keeper Alisson is sidelined, paving the way for new signing Giorgi Mamardashvili to step in. Meanwhile, doubts linger over the fitness of Hugo Ekitike and Alexander Isak, leaving Arne Slot with a few concerns ahead of the clash.

Liverpool Probable XI - Mamardashvili (GK); Bradley, Konaté, Virgil van Dijk, Milos Kerkez (Defenders); Ryan Gravenberch, Szoboszlai, Writz ( Midfielders); Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo, Alexander Isak (Forwards).

CHELSEA FC vs LIVERPOOL FC
Winning Prediction

Chelsea have struggled to make Stamford Bridge a fortress this season, managing just one win from three home games, and injuries have only added to their vulnerability. 

Yet, Liverpool haven’t had it easy here either, going winless in their last four league visits. Even so, with their depth and quality, the Reds look the more likely side to break that run and take all three points.
