Chelsea v Liverpool - The Big Match



Chelsea welcome Liverpool for the top of the table clash this Sunday. It is hardly to see this match billed as 1st vs 2nd for many years.

Both teams goes into this match level on 20 points. They were the only two unbeaten side left in the BPL. The record of unbeaten surely has to end for either one of the teams.

On paper, Chelsea have been in irresistable form hammering 5 goals past Boro in the Riverside Stadium while Liverpool came back twice to beat Wigan in Anfield.

Liverpool and Chelsea have their injury worries but Liverpool will sorely miss their top marksmen in Torres.

I am not impressed by Liverpool defensively. They kept conceding needless goals. Liverpool will be punished if they commit the same mistake again. I do not think Liverpool can stage another comeback against Chelsea if they are a goal down. Chelsea is altogether a different opposition as compared to Man City and Wigan.

Can Liverpool break Chelsea's 4 years unbeaten run at the Bridge? I doubt so.

My heart wants the Red to win but my head says 2-0 to Chelsea. My other prediction:

Everton v Man Utd 1-2
Blackburn v Boro 2-0
Sunderland v Newcastle 2-1
West Brom v Hull 2-0
Man City v Stoke 3-0
Chelsea v Liverpool 2-0
Portsmouth v Fulham 3-1
West Ham v Arsenal 1-1
Wigan v Villa 2-1
Spurs v Bolton 2-1
