Match Preview: Liverpool Vs Chelsea, Two Key Players Return To Squads For This Top Fixture

Liverpool will face the Blues at the Anfield on Sunday in the Premier League. The match is going to be important for both the sides as both of them will wish to win this contest for different reasons. Liverpool will try to seal all three points from this contest as they are in the title race of the Premier League. One slip from here will just take the title away from them. This match will certainly remember you of the slip of Steven Gerrard few seasons back against Chelsea. Liverpool were not able to make a comeback from that slip to win a Premier League title till now. The players of the Reds will certainly not wish to make the same mistakes again in this season. The Reds are very close to the title this season and they certainly deserve to win the title this time.

On the other hand, the Blues will be trying to win this contest for another season. This season did not go according to the plans of the club management. However, 4 back to back wins in all competitions have certainly kept Chelsea in a good position in the Premier League. The Blues are fighting hard to get a place in the top four positions in the Premier League in this season. The gap between the opposition sides fighting for the top four spots are really less. So, one loss or draw from here on will certainly affect the position in the League Table at this moment. So, the Blues will also be desperate to win this contest for their own sake.
