Liverpool vs Chelsea score prediction
Chelsea are enjoying their most productive run of the Poch era, and a trip to Anfield represents a litmus test for their progress under the Argentine.
The Blues are undoubtedly improving, but they're yet to secure a statement win. Their recent victories have come against sides you'd expect them to beat. They've also faltered away from home against the likes of Manchester United and Newcastle.
Anfield will be an emotional beast for the remainder of the campaign with Klopp leaving at the end of the season, and the hosts are set to be bolstered by the returns of several key players in midweek. This has the makings of an entertaining bout, but Liverpool should prevail with some comfort.
Prediction: Liverpool 3-1 Chelsea
