Chelsea Vs Liverpool: 3 reasons why Liverpool could win against the Blues | Premier League 2019/20

#2 Joel Matip and Virgil Van Dijk partnership is clicking well

Liverpool’s centre-backs Joel Matip and Virgil Van Dijk have been rock-solid this season. While the full-backs leave pockets of space in the defensive department, it forced the centre-backs to do the spare work in the backline.

Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson have made their work in the offensive areas of the pitch, but they fail to track back – leaving tons of covering for Matip and Van Dijk. On numerous instances, Joel Matip has been the standout centre-half than Virgil Van Dijk this season. The Cameroonian has been one of the best players this season, but he lives under the radar quite often.

These two will be up against Tammy Abraham, who has seven goals from four games this season. The English striker is athletic and has the physical presence to torment his opponents. It will be fascinating as he’s bound to play against the best defence in the league.

Apart from the defensive prowess, Joel Matip and Virgil Van Dijk can score goals from the set-pieces too.
