Odds: Liverpool (8/11) Draw (3/1) Chelsea (4/1)Gamingtips Prediction – Liverpool 2:3 Chelsea
A win for Liverpool will almost ensure they win this years Barclays Premier League. Chelsea must win in order to give themselves a chance and of course Manchester City who are 6 points behind Liverpool with a game in hand. Chelsea travelled to the Spanish Capital midweek to play vs Atletico and if that trip hasn’t taken a lot out of them, they should have a great chance of winning against a Liverpool side who haven’t been in this position in many years. Liverpool have looked exceptional this year and although they won against Manchester City a few weeks ago, they have looked slightly shaky in several games and may find closing out their season a bit tougher than other teams.
