English Premier League will have a blast already in the opening round as Chelsea hosts Liverpool on Sunday afternoon at Stamford Bridge. 

Before Betting on Chelsea vs. Liverpool

The Blues showed incredible offensive potential during the preseason, but Christopher Nkunku’s injury did raise some concerns before the start of the Premiership. The French forward will be out for a couple of weeks, which ruined a very good atmosphere in the unit. 

In five events throughout the preseason, Chelsea posted three victories and two losses. In three games, Chelsea scored at least twice, and in three, they both netted and allowed a goal. This team is fast, has extremely dangerous players on the flanks, and looks fluid. 

The Reds’ preseason was challenging as well. Jurgen Klopp’s team showed that they didn’t change the style of play at all, emphasizing offense even at the expense of defense. In four contests, Liverpool hit the back of the rival’s net 15 times.

Meanwhile, there was only one event in which we saw them protecting their goal, but that’s nothing odd for the Reds, who have been struggling in the back line for a long time. A big plus is that all the players are healthy and ready to play, which wasn’t the case over the last two campaigns.

You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to figure out this should be a high-scoring affair. Both teams are much better in attack than in defense, and on top of that, they possess an extremely offensive-minded mindset. So over 2.5 goals is the first and the safest pick here. As soon as the game opens, we will see fireworks at Stamford.
