Top of the table Liverpool host Chelsea in the "Battle of Red and Blue" in the EPL. Liverpool's leader Gopp recently announced his departure at the end of the season, leaving the second half of the season to bid a marathon farewell to the German manager. However, it will not be easy to win against Chelsea, who have recovered from a full-blown battle, and the two teams are evenly matched in recent years, so it is worthwhile to chase after the draw again.

Liverpool's performance this season has been extremely stable, with 7 wins and 3 draws in their last 10 matches. Even though their ace striker Mohamed Sana has been injured in the African Cup of Nations and is not expected to play in the recent matches, the Reds still have a lot of firepower as they won 4 goals in their last league match against Gonigalpa, and then thrashed Norwich in the EFL Cup with a score of 5-2. However, their success is not just about attacking, Kopp's tactics are adapted to the times, and they often win against tough opponents, and in their last three home league matches, they had a 0-0 draw with Manchester United and a 1-1 draw with Arsenal.
Chelsea is still in the middle of the league, and their performance is not in line with their star-studded squad. However, the Blue Warriors have recovered in the last month, winning four of their last five league matches, making them a force to be reckoned with, and they even made it to the final of the EFL Cup, so their morale is high. The Reds have a big problem with strikers such as Golpenma and Stanley Staines, who are in good form, so it's expected that both sides will play with a steady hand.
Liverpool and Chelsea are on the wrong side of each other, and the EFL Cup final at the end of February is again a battle between the two teams. In the past two and a half years, the two armies met seven times, and all of them ended in a draw, which proves that they are half-assed, and the chances of shaking hands and making a draw are very high in this game.
