Chelsea vs Liverpool odds and score prediction
This time of year always brings about big decisions for punters – which teams are overpriced based on a perceived lack of motivation? If Liverpool were going for the title there would be no way you’d be getting 21/10 with Sky Bet on an away win. But the ‘week on the beers’ theory is certainly affecting their price – wrongly in my opinion, so Liverpool have to be the bet.
Also, Mohamed Salah is a man completely motivated by numbers and breaking records.
He is just two goals away from breaking the record for goal involvements for the season currently held jointly held by Andy Cole and Alan Shearer (47). The Egyptian looks a fine bet to add to his tally of 28 goals and 18 assists by grabbing another goal involvement in a win for Arne Slot’s machine team. Salah to score or assist and Liverpool to win can be combined through the BuildABet function to generate an 11/4 shot with Sky Bet.
SCORE PREDICTION: 1-2
The race for Champions League qualification is more competitive than ever with five Premier League teams guaranteed qualification, but who will make the cut?
The race for the top five is tight, with only four points separating Manchester City in third and Aston Villa in seventh following their respective wins on Friday and Saturday.
Premier League winners Liverpool have already guaranteed Champions League football, while Opta put Arsenal’s prospects at 99.9 per cent.
Man City – who have a favourable run-in – now have a 98 per cent chance of making those Champions League spots.
Newcastle’s chances remain at 82 per cent of making the top five ahead of their trip to Brighton on Sunday, live on Sky Sports.
Chelsea occupy the fifth and final Champions League qualification spot, but their 49 per cent chance is lower than sixth-placed Nottingham Forest’s 53 per cent, which dropped from 75 per cent after Thursday’s 2-0 home loss to Brentford.
Aston Villa‘s prospects, though, are growing in the eyes of the supercomputer. They are given a 20 per cent chance of making the top five, having previously sat at 12 per cent.
The run-in sees two games between Champions League hopefuls clash as Chelsea go to Newcastle on May 11, while Forest host Chelsea on the final day of the season.
