The stage is set for a midweek Premier League thriller as Liverpool vs Chelsea starts tonight at Anfield on 21:15 CET. Both teams, unbeaten in their last three league outings, are locked in a battle for supremacy, with Jurgen Klopp's Reds aiming to extend their lead at the top, while Chelsea seek to close the gap and solidify their hold on a Champions League spot. Can Liverpool's Anfield fortress withstand Chelsea's resurgent attack?

Liverpool (14-6-1) have been in imperious form, their last defeat coming way back in November. Their relentless attacking machine, fueled by the likes of Mohamed Salah and Diogo Jota, has torn through defenses, with their 4-0 demolition of Bournemouth a testament to their firepower. Chelsea (9-4-8), under the astute guidance of Graham Potter, have found their own groove, grinding out wins and showcasing a newfound defensive solidity. Their last-gasp victory over Fulham showcased their resilience, while Cole Palmer's emergence as a goal-scoring threat has added another dimension to their attack.

Head-to-head Liverpool vs Chelsea

Past encounters between these two titans have been nothing short of epic. Their 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge earlier this season was a tense affair, and Wednesday's clash promises more of the same. With Anfield's passionate crowd roaring behind them, Liverpool will be the slight favorites , while Chelsea come in as underdogs. However, the Blues have a history of defying expectations at Anfield, having gone unbeaten in nine of their last 11 visits.

Prediction

This one is a toss-up. Both teams have the attacking firepower to hurt the other, while their defenses have been resolute in recent weeks. Liverpool's home advantage and momentum might just give them the edge, but Chelsea's fighting spirit and Palmer's hot form shouldn't be underestimated. Expect a tightly contested affair, possibly with goals on both ends.

While the outcome is hard to predict, the over/under of 3.5 goals looks like a tempting option. Both teams have the attacking chops to make this a goal-fest, and with Klopp's impending departure at the end of the season, expect Liverpool to go all out for the win.
