Chelsea Vs Liverpool: 3 Chelsea players who can help the Blues winning the match against Liverpool on their own on Sunday in Premier League.
Chelsea will host Liverpool in the 6th game week of the premier League, and the Blues have picked up form at the right time, as Liverpool is the toughest challenge for them so far.
Frank Lampard had a rough start to his season after losing to Manchester United in the first game-week, then two successive draws against Leicester City and Sheffield United.
However, things got better for Lampard, as his team defeated Norwich City and Wolves, and it was not a rough victory, rather a win in style. Signalling that Lampard’s ideas are working for the Blues.
Moreover, his trust on the younger player is turning out to be fruitful. Tammy Abraham has found the net 7 times in last 5 games, whereas Mason Mount has also been phenomenal.
The only problem Chelsea are facing right now are the number of injuries at the club, with N’Golo Kante, Callum Hudson Odoi, Emerson and Mount non-available for the game due to injuries, Chelsea will be short of options.
Yet, Chelsea still has the capacity to beat Liverpool, who are on a sensational run, and have won all the last 5 matches in the Premier League to be at the top of the table.

Tammy Abraham
The English striker has been phenomenal for Chelsea, ever since he made his debut for Chelsea this season, since then, Tammy Abraham has scored 7 goals in 5 games for Chelsea in the Premier League.
Indeed, it was a bold move by Lampard to give priorty to Abraham over Oliver Giroud and considering the 21-year-old player had a difficulty to perform in intial games, Lampard still kept his faith in him.
Since then, Abraham has been lethal upfront and deemed to be the next big thing in the Premier League according to the pundits.
Last time Abraham met Liverpool, he had an underwhelming performance, but Abraham has picked up his level after that match only. So it is awaited to see, how he will perform against the Reds on Sunday.
Christian Pulisic
Chelsea’s new signing is undoubtedly a threat to Liverpool, and with his blistering pace and skillful dribbling, Liverpool’s defece will probably face a huge problem.
However, the USA international has not opened his score yet, but his contribution in the gameplay cannot be denied ad he is deemd to fly in the Premier League.
Thus, it could be this match, where Pulisic can show his worth and justify his expensive price tag, as Liverpool has the best defence in the world and kaniling them would speak volume for Pulisic.
Mateo Kovacic
Mateo Kovacic has been phenomenal in the middle of the park, and in the absence of N’Golo Kante, the Croatian International has been influential to Chelsea.
Although, his scoring stats is not a fair criteria to judge his performances. Kovacic has excelled in other areas like, his successful pass rate is 89%, he has 8 successful tackles in last 5 games.
Further, the player has been impressive in making dribbles upfront, with a successful rate of 88%. Amidst, all of this Kovacic managed to give 1 assist.
Thus, he will be crucial in the midfield against Liverpool, and can help in stopping Roberto Firmino’s creative game-play, which is the most prized asset of Liverpool.
