Liverpool v Chelsea
- 8:15pm BST kick-off on Sky Sports
- Match Odds:
I'm expecting goals at Anfield, and not just because the Reds might really go for it and play a more uninhibited Klopp 'heavy metal football' to end their home season in style, but because the stats in recent weeks suggest so.
The Reds have kept only one clean sheet in their five matches since they clinched the title, while Chelsea have conceded in six of their nine post-lockdown matches and scored in all but one, which is why BTTS is a painfully short 5/9.
however looks good to me - you can even get which I'll probably back as well because it just seems an incredibly generous price.
The value is all in Liverpool being odds against to win, so that is where we need to focus. It has filtered through to the goalscorer market slightly too, so - prices higher than you'd get usually, and probably boosted by his lack of goals since the restart.
I've lent towards Salah over as my goalscorer fancy because he is far more of a goal-poaching, selfish striker. Final game of the season at Anfield and Liverpool about to lift the trophy - I just can't see him not getting on the scoresheet.
Personally though, I think it's a rare game where there is real value in backing Liverpool and their goalscorers. So I wouldn't blame you for backing multiple markets in the Reds' favour. I certainly will be.
Prediction: Liverpool 2-1 Chelsea ()
