Liverpool hosts Chelsea in one of the big games lined up in the Premier League as it goes into Match Week 3. Both sides have perfect runs and have scored five times in the opening two matches of the league. Going to the game, they are joint second and Liverpool will hope home advantage once again plays in their favor. In the last seven years, Chelsea have won just once at Anfield, the 1-0 win last season. Liverpool are a more confident side now, with a nearly fully fit squad and are doing well across all departments. They’ve kept clean sheets in their opening two matches, and scored two or more goals in each of their last five matches across all competitions. In the Premier League, they are unbeaten in 12 games, with seven straight wins, and have scored two or more in each of the last seven. They are also on a five-match unbeaten run at home in the Premier League, and the last three have come with clean sheets. The return of Virgil van Dijk has given the team a new lease of life, as far as defending is concerned, and it will be interesting to see how he copes with the threat of Romelu Lukaku on the opposite end.

Chelsea head to this game after a dominant game against Arsenal, which they won 2-0. Once again, Romelu Lukaku will be a man to watch here after a good display against the Gunners. Chelsea, like Liverpool, have scored five and conceded nine in their opening two league games. The Blues also head here unbeaten in their last five matches and haven’t failed to score in their last nine matches. They have two losses in the last 10 league matches, with five clean sheets and having scored two or more in six of 10 in the league. Away from home, Chelsea have seven wins in 10 league matches and three of their last five away league matches have produced over 2.5 goals.
