1. Tammy Abraham’s scoring spree

Especially in the last two games, the English International has been lethal, and scored a hattrick against Wolves to make his side win 5-2.
Furthermore, his blistering pace and aerial skills has made him a very potent striker upfront. Thus, Chelsea can find a difference if Abraham manages to put a rabbit out of his hat.
Although, Liverpool undoubtedly have the best defence in the world but a bad day on the field can ruin your day.
2. Chelsea can make difference through midfield
Despite the absence of N’golo Kante from midfield, Chelsea has a good midfield setup with Jorginho and Mateo Kovacic heading the line.
Kovacic has a successful passing rate of 89% and successful dribbling rate of 88%. On top of that he has successul tackle rate is of 88%. Thus, making him a perfect option for Chelsea to lead the midfield battle.
On the other hand, Jorginho also boasts a successful pass rate of 84% in the last 5 Premier League games, and has been crucial in making interceptions, as he has made 10 successful interceptions in all league matches so far.
Therefore, Chelsea will be tough to deal with in the middle of the park. However, it will be still difficult without Mason Mount, who suffered an injury against Valencia in the Champions League.
3. Stamford Bridge is a tough ground for Liverpool
Chelsea are undoubtedly one of the strongest sides to face at home. They boast one of the most impressive record at the Stamford Bridge.
Liverpool has been no exception to this fact, as the Reds have only managed to win only twice in the Blues’ den since 2012, last time they won it over there it was 2016.
So, it has been 3 years since Liverpool managed a win over there. Despite having their golden period after it. Thus, it is remained to see whether Liverpool be able to overturn this fact against them or will the Blues manage to uphold.
It could be anything, but Chelsea can certainly take an advantage against Liverpool with the massive home support they always receive.
