Chelsea host the champions Liverpool in the pick of the games in the second weekend of the new Premier League campaign.
Frank Lampard’s side were heavily beaten by Jurgen Klopp’s outfit after the restart at Anfield, with the Reds triumphing three times out of four meetings between the sides last season.
The Blues will continue to showcase their array of attacking talent acquired in the transfer market, with Timo Werner and Kai Havertz set to feature once more.
The Reds, meanwhile, made a statement of their own in the market by striking a deal to sign Thiago Alcantara from Bayern Munich.

Liverpool: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk, Fabinho, Robertson, Henderson, Keita, Wijnaldum, Mane, Firmino, Salah
Odds:
Chelsea: 9/4
Draw: 21/10
Liverpool: 11/10
Prediction:
Chelsea caused the Reds as many problems as almost any side last season, that said the Reds still ended up on the winning side in three of the four meetings. Mohamed Salah’s ruthless streak should mask any more vulnerability at the back, notably displayed by Virgil van Dijk and Alisson. The Blues’ attacking talent should give them a chance and a switch to a back three/five will likely make this more of a cagier affair. 1-1.
