Chelsea vs Liverpool: Predictions , Preview, Lineups, H2h for October 4, 2025

On Saturday, October 4, at 18:30 Central European Time, Stamford Bridge in London will feature a significant Premier League match as Chelsea takes on Liverpool. Here’s a look at the best betting option for goals in this crucial game.

Chelsea

Chelsea enters this match with a boost after securing their first Champions League win of the season, defeating Benfica 1-0. This victory was noteworthy since Benfica is managed by former Chelsea coach José Mourinho. Despite struggling recently, with only one win in their last six matches, this win has lifted Chelsea’s spirits after a difficult start, where their only other win was against Lincoln in the Carabao Cup.

In the league, Chelsea’s recent form has been inconsistent. They lost 1-3 at home to Brighton and 1-2 away to Manchester United, leaving them eighth in the Premier League, seven points behind leaders Liverpool.

However, Chelsea has a good record against Liverpool at Stamford Bridge, not losing to them there since 2020. In their last seven encounters in London, six ended in draws, with Chelsea winning 3-1 in their last meeting at the end of last season.

Liverpool

Liverpool comes to London after suffering two consecutive defeats. They lost 0-1 to Galatasaray in the Champions League and were beaten 1-2 by Crystal Palace, which ended their seven-match winning streak. Despite these losses, Liverpool remains at the top of the Premier League, holding a two-point lead over Arsenal.

Recent matches between Chelsea and Liverpool have been exciting, with three of the last four matchups featuring over 2.5 goals, and four of the last five saw both teams scoring.

Probable line-ups

• Chelsea: Sánchez, Achimrong, Hato, James, Cucurella, Caicedo, Lavia, Estevan, Fernández, Neto, João Pedro.

Chelsea vs Liverpool match prediction

Chelsea recently broke their poor streak with a Champions League victory but has lost their last two league games. Their home record against Liverpool is promising. On the other hand, Liverpool is looking to recover after their recent defeats. Given the circumstances and head-to-head patterns, a competitive match is expected. Both teams’ defensive issues suggest that goals will be scored on both sides. I recommend betting on both teams to score, with odds of 1.51.
