Liverpool travel to Chelsea on Saturday looking for revenge after the Blues ran out 2-1 winners at Anfield in the EFL Cup on Wednesday.
Jurgen Klopp’s side currently sit top of the Premier League, having won their opening six matches, while Chelsea’s perfect start came to an end at West Ham United last weekend.
But who will come out on top at Stamford Bridge?

Chelsea vs Liverpool tip one: Hazard and Salah both to score @ 11/2
Eden Hazard’s wonderful winner at Anfield on Wednesday is still being talked about, and it was indicative of the start to the season the Belgian has made since returning from the World Cup.
He’ll be determined to keep up his fine form, but Mohamed Salah – who although having started the season comparatively slowly has taken the third-most shots in the division – will be equally desperate to get on the scoresheet, getting one over on his old employers in the process.
Key stat: Hazard has scored six goals in five appearances so far this term.
Eden Hazard has now scored six goals against Liverpool across all competitions; more than against any other 'big-six' side.

Chelsea vs Liverpool tip two: Chelsea to win @ 9/5
Liverpool have won their first six matches of a league season for the first time since 1961/62. But even if the Reds are genuine title contenders, seven successive Premier League victories is a lot to ask from any team, especially with a trip to Chelsea on the cards.
Chelsea won this fixture last season, edging out Liverpool 1-0 back in May thanks to Olivier’s Giroud’s first-half winner. The Blues will be aiming for a repeat of that here and it is also worth noting the aforementioned Frenchman has scored five times in his last seven appearances against Liverpool.
Key stat: Chelsea are unbeaten in their last four meetings with Liverpool in all competitions, winning two and drawing two.

Chelsea vs Liverpool tip three: Under 2.5 goals @ 11/10
Encounters between Chelsea and Liverpool have been low-scoring to say the least in recent years. Aside from Wednesday night, in the last 15 encounters across all competitions, only once has either side scored more than two goals – Liverpool’s 3-1 league win at Chelsea in October 2015.
Both teams wouldn’t be too upset with a draw on Saturday, so it is certain to be a cagey affair that might not include many goals.
Key stat: On Wednesday, Chelsea scored twice in a game against Liverpool for the first time since November 2014.
Tip: Under 2.5 goals @ 11/10 with William Hill – bet here
