Chelsea are currently third on the Premier League table and next up, they take on reigning league champions Liverpool, away from home.
Going into this critical game, the Blues are just one point ahead of both Leicester and Manchester United so if they cannot pick up all three points they could very well drop down to the fifth spot.
But given the fact that they have just beaten Manchester United in the semi-final of the FA Cup last weekend, many experts feel Chelsea have what it takes to inflict a defeat.
Michael Owen has admitted that Chelsea will put forward a tough fight on Wednesday but it’s the home side who should come out victorious by the end of the match.
He wrote for BetVictor: “Liverpool’s form has been somewhat indifferent since they won the Premier League and were beaten by Arsenal in their last match after two unusual errors in defence allowed the Gunners to come back from a goal down.
“That defeat means that Liverpool can no longer set the record for most points in a season but that won’t in any way, diminish what they’ve already achieved this season.
“The Reds will finally be presented with the Premier League trophy at the end of the match and will undoubtedly want to end their last home game of the season in style.
“Chelsea’s narrow 1-0 victory over Norwich on Tuesday means they sit third in the table at the start of Matchday37 but this is a tricky match for them to face at this late stage of the season.
“They finish the season with a home game against Wolves and with Leicester City and Manchester United breathing down their necks Frank Lampard will be desperate for a positive result at Anfield.
“Liverpool won the reverse fixture 2-1 back in September and I fancy Jurgen Klopp’s men to grind out another 2-1 victory this time around.”
Chelsea are full of confidence before heading to Anfield and Lampard will surely be eyeing all three points given that Liverpool have seen a dip in form since they were named the champions.
But given the fact that they will be presented with the PL trophy after his match, Jurgen Klopp will ensure that his players do not end the match with a defeat.
