Chelsea needs victory to stay in the top 5
The London band currently occupies the 5th position in the standings, the last one that ensures the participation in the Champions League next season.
The fight for qualifying in the most important interclub competition in the world is far from completed. Chelsea is on equal points with Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa (60), and if they are prevented today, the “blue” will be able to be overcome by “forests”.
However, Enzo Maresca's band seems to go through a good time. In the championship, the Stamford Bridge group comes after two consecutive victories, against some uncomfortable opponents (2-1 with Fulham and 1-0 with Everton), and in the conference League, today's hosts are one step in the final, after 4-1 on the field of the Djugarden, in the tour of the competition.
Liverpool is already a champion
On the other hand, the “cormorants” have already mathematically awarded their 20th title in the club's history, after winning in the previous round, 5-1 on Tottenham.
Considering the fact that the season is already ended for Liverpool, Arne Slot stated at the press conference for today's dispute that he will align a first 11 less used in this season, giving other players to assert themselves.
Thus, players like Jarell Quansah, Harvey Elliott or Kostas Tsimikas are expected to start from the first minute the duel on Stamford Bridge.
Also, Federico Chiesa, the footballer who came to Anfield last summer, but did not take many minutes in Liverpool's shirt, could take advantage of more time tonight.
“Cormorants” prevailed on Anfield in the championship round
The first direct duel between the two teams in the current season took place in the autumn of last year, more precisely on October 20, and then, Arne Slot's band won on its own ground, score 2-1.
Mo Salah unlocked the table in the 29th minute, successfully completing the lime point, but Nicolas Jackson restored equality immediately after the break (48 ').
Three minutes later, however, Curtis Jones set the final score of the match, thus maintaining all three points per Anfield.
