Both sides have struggled to get going this term, making their upcoming encounter a tough one to predict. Sutton highlighted the inconsistency of the two English giants, pinpointing Liverpool’s shortcomings in midfield.
He also touched upon the Blues’ win over Crystal Palace in their last league match, stressing on how unconvincing it was. Predicting a 1-1 draw between the two sides, Sutton wrote in his column for the BBC:
How Liverpool and Chelsea have fared so far this season
Liverpool (ninth) and Chelsea (10th) have been far from their best this term. Both are level on points with 28 but the Reds lead Graham Potter’s side on goal difference and also have a game in hand.
Half the league season is yet to be played and both these sides have players capable of bringing them into the top-four race. They are currently 14 points off fourth-placed Newcastle United, but there’s still a lot to play for.
