Prediction: Liverpool 1-1 Chelsea

While a defeat will not be terminal for Chelsea's top-four hopes, a win will secure it. Still, that is easier said than done against this Liverpool side.

Arsenal showed last week that the Reds can be beaten with a good gameplan, but that defeat could in turn provoke a response from Klopp's team - and Chelsea will do well to escape Anfield with anything other than a defeat.
