Chelsea vs Liverpool
Competition – Barclays Premier League
Stadium: Stamford Bridge
Date: 4th May 2025
Kick-off time – 16:30 GMT
Chelsea will look to continue their impressive run of form when they welcome Premier League champions Liverpool to Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
The Blues appear to be peaking at the perfect time, with form in the Premier League starting to match their European exploits. Domestically, they’ve lost just one of their last eight matches (W5, D2), which has lifted them to fifth place and into the Champions League spots.
Meanwhile, in Europe, they already have one foot in the Conference League final after a 4-1 first-leg win over Djurgården in midweek. But their fine form will be put to the ultimate test when they face the newly crowned Premier League champions.
This is especially true as Chelsea haven’t beaten Liverpool in any of the last ten H2Hs (D5, L5). History says victory may elude them once again, as in their previous six Premier League games against a team already crowned champions, they’ve only won once (D2, L3).
Liverpool secured the Premier League title last weekend after beating Tottenham 5-1 at Anfield. The latest title win drew them with bitter rivals Manchester United on 20 top-flight crowns, making this one extra special for fans.
It’s also the first they will celebrate with the team, having been denied the opportunity to celebrate with title in the stadium when they won it in 2020. The big question ahead of this tie will be whether there’ll be any hangover after their title-winning celebrations last weekend or whether history will repeat itself and see the Reds claim their first league double over Chelsea since 2019/20 when they won the league.
Winning here will make Arne Slot only the third Reds boss to win both of his first two league games against Chelsea. Continuing the title party on the road should be no problem for Liverpool, who comfortably boast the best travelling record in the Premier League this season (W11, D5, L1), despite their last trip to London ending in a 3-2 defeat to Fulham.
