Liverpool vs. Chelsea: Snooze and Lose the Title

Liverpool versus Chelsea couldn’t have been any more important than it is for Jurgen Klopp and the Anfield fanbase.

Liverpool versus Chelsea tonight is set to renew hostilities between the Red half of Merseyside and the Blue half of West-London in a game that mounts a lot of pressure for the Reds who on their own terms look to be up to something this season.

Would it be a quadruple charge again? Or will the season end on an underwhelming note for the Merseyside Reds to give Jurgen Klopp a rather bitter farewell upon conclusion of the current campaign?

Whichever route the season goes for the Reds, Chelsea stand to determine how the ending would go for Liverpool, with tonight’s premier league clash the beginning of that end.

Since the 2021/22 season, every meeting between both teams have ending at full time in a very predictable stalemate, with neither side getting the better of the other. There have been 7 meetings, 7 draws, no matter the form or weather, with each meeting either taking on a boring tie or an exciting clash that results in a boring ending.

However, this time around, Liverpool stand a lot to loose if they allow a repeat of the last 7 meet ups with Chelsea.

With just 2-points sitting at the top of the table, another draw sees them lose their footing to the chasing pack that are Manchester City and Arsenal. A draw categorically means 2-points lost, 1 point gained.

Liverpool snoozing at Anfield leaves Manchester City clasping their hands, and with the Arsenal at the Emirates few days later, the Reds face a losing war even before the battle begins.

At the moment, Chelsea stand to gain nothing but mount a top 6 charge from its current position, with Liverpool the ones having the most to lose if they fail to come out with maximum points.

For the Blues, it is all about the glory and bragging rights should the result go in their favor considering the history that runs through this fixture.

Nothing that is said prior to the game holds any waters, but a win for Liverpool over Chelsea, will go to farther extent to bolster their confidence for the trip to the Emirates and for the remainder of the season.

With this game standing as Jurgen Klopp’s last Premier League fixture against Chelsea, Liverpool will be eager to end things on a high for the ‘old man’ leaving.
