Gary Neville is predicting Liverpool to beat Chelsea and has warned Enzo Maresca's young side they must cope with the Anfield atmosphere on Sunday. The Reds are hoping to continue their impressive start to season and remain top of the Premier League with three points against Chelsea.

The Londoners have also been in good form, though, and have gone six games unbeaten since an opening day defeat to Manchester City at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea are the league's second top scorers after City, but have conceded six more goals than Liverpool.

They will also be without Wesley Fofana and Marc Cucurella through suspension. Both players have been ever-presents for Maresca's side this season. The club have seen a huge turnover of players in the past couple of seasons and have a young squad and new manager going to Anfield for the first time.

And that youthfulness could be the difference in the game, according to Neville.

“Liverpool vs Chelsea we will start with that”, Neville said on Stick to Football podcast.

“I think Liverpool will beat them, I think Chelsea are a bit younger, 3-2, 3-1? We’ll go with Liverpool 3-1.

“I think it will be a big atmosphere that day.”
