Liverpool FC are all set to lock horns with Chelsea FC for their matchweek 36 of the 2025-26 English Premier League. This is going to be an entertaining outing between these sides, taking place at Anfield.
Arne Slot’s men are coming in after facing a 2-3 loss against Manchester United in their last matchup. They conceded two early goals, but then scored two of their own in the second half. The Reds weren’t able to contain the Red Devils, as they scored a match-winner late in the second half.Liverpool FC continue their inconsistent run of performances. They will be at home for their next one and must use it to their advantage. The Reds are in fourth place on the league table and with a win, they might even confirm a spot in the Champions League next season.
Under their interim manager, Calum McFarlane, the Blues came up with some signs of life after their win against Leeds United in the FA Cup semifinal. But the momentum straightaway went to vain after their thrashing 1-3 defeat at the hands of Nottingham Forest in their next league contest.With 13 wins in 35 matches, Chelsea are placed ninth on the Premier League points table. As per the current scenario, they might not play in the UCL next season. The Blues will be eager to return to winning ways, but being away from home is only going to make things tougher for them.

Predicted Lineups

Liverpool News

On a day where either Man United or Liverpool could have secured their Champions League ticket, it was the Red Devils who claimed the bragging rights in the biggest game in English football, despite almost being the masters of their own downfall.
Arne Slot's men capitalised on defensive lapses from Michael Carrick's charges to unexpectedly fight back from 2-0 down, but their revival was short-lived, as Kobbie Mainoo celebrated his new contract signing with an exquisite winner 13 minutes from time.A seething Slot did not mince his words when discussing the Benjamin Sesko handball controversy at full time, but the under-pressure Dutchman could not justifiably claim that Liverpool deserved even a slice of the spoils, given their 0.89 Expected Goals compared to Man Utd's 2.34.The end of Liverpool's three-match winning run triggered fresh calls for the manager to go, but if this season is to be Slot's last, he should not take his leave without leading the Reds back into Europe's premier competition.
Fourth in the Premier League table with 58 points - six clear of Bournemouth and seven above Brentford - Liverpool will qualify for the 2026-27 Champions League if they beat Chelsea and the Cherries drop points at Fulham.
Already missing long-term Achilles victim Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool devastatingly lost fellow striker Alexander Isak to a groin injury before the trip to Old Trafford, albeit a very minor groin injury that might clear up in time for the weekend.At the time of writing, though, Isak remains doubtful alongside Florian Wirtz and Ibrahima Konate - neither of whom trained on Wednesday for unexplained reasons - in addition to Alisson Becker (unspecified) and Giorgi Mamardashvili (knee).Mohamed Salah (thigh), Wataru Endo (ankle), Giovanni Leoni (knee) and Conor Bradley (knee) are definitely out of contention for the champions, who should call on Joe Gomez and Rio Ngumoha if neither Wirtz nor Konate are available.
Chelsea News

Clean sheets are also a largely foreign concept to Chelsea in the Premier League right now, as are points in general, as the Blues head to Merseyside as the most out-of-form team in the division.
Across the last six Premier League matchdays, only one team has taken zero points from 18 available; Newcastle United, Everton, Manchester City, Manchester United, Brighton & Hove Albion and most recently Nottingham Forest have all conquered the Club World Cup champions to officially extinguish any miniscule top-five chances.Calum McFarlane's men at least snapped a five-game Premier League scoreless streak against Forest on Monday, but Joao Pedro's 93rd-minute effort in front of a sparsely-populated Stamford Bridge barely broke into consolation territory, as Taiwo Awoniyi (2) and Igor Jesus had already won the game for a much-changed Garibaldi.The ninth-placed Blues are mathematically out of top-five contention - sitting 10 points adrift of Aston Villa with three games remaining - but they are just four points off Bournemouth in sixth, which could suffice for UCL qualification if Villa finish in the top five and win the Europa League.The Blues' pitiful form is not that of a side warranting a spot at Europe's top table, though, and the visitors are now at risk of losing seven successive league games for just the second time ever, after first suffering such a sequence in 1952.
As for Chelsea, the loss to Forest was overshadowed by the sickening head injury to teenage attacker Jesse Derry, who was stretchered off to warm applause from both sets of supporters after his collision with Zach Abbott.Derry-Abbott was one of two head clashes at Stamford Bridge, where Robert Sanchez and Morgan Gibbs-White also crashed into each other, so Filip Jorgensen will be required in between the posts in the former's place.McFarlane also admitted in his pre-game press conference that Pedro Neto and Alejandro Garnacho are unlikely to be back from their knocks in time to feature, while Jamie Gittens (thigh), Estevao Willian (thigh) and Mykhaylo Mudryk (doping ban) are out.
