The Premier League returns with an olden-times classic between heavy hitters Chelsea and Liverpool in some Super Sunday Funday.

Questions to be asked: Will Liverpool stay ahead of the EPL pack with a victory at home? Or is it Chelsea’s time to shine and knock the Reds off their perch?

There are plenty of talking points for this classic clash that sees new faces at their respective helms take charge. However, none is more important than what punting opportunities will be available when the two bouts at Anfield on Sunday for the day's final fixture and second last for Matchday 8.

Let’s view all the odds that could see your Sunday turn super if you’re betting on Pool or the Blues for a win. Before going on, check out this weekend’s Sunbet Special: A Michael Owen Acca that backs Liverpool and other EPL clubs to win with boosted odds of 11.00.

All Liverpool & Chelsea Top Tips & Best Betting Odds

Get in on the action with our pre-match bets and Live In-Play markets, where you can stand a chance to win up to R30 million on any sports bets. This preview involves tips for clean sheets, overs/unders, and more.

Will Liverpool Keep Another Clean Sheet?

The Reds currently lead the table in points and clean sheets. They sit on five for the season in the EPL alone and have been tough to break down.

The odds for a “No selection” for both teams to score are 2.60. Quite an intriguing bet, considering the Reds have only conceded two goals in their last five top-flight outings.

Can Chelsea Find a Chink in the Reds Defence? (Chelsea to score over 2.5 at odds of 2.5)

Can Chelsea score one or more at Anfield? Taking the above Reds’ defensive stats, the answer would be no. However, the Blues, under Enzo Maresca, have been scoring at will. 
There is a strong possibility they might score over 1.5 goals. They are the second-highest-scoring team with 16 goals for the season. The odds for them to score over 1.5 goals are 2.48.

Who Will Be the Halftime & Full-Time Winners?

No punt is a punt without the risk involved. This bet could be risky, but one that could pay off greatly if predicted correctly.
Because Liverpool are the toughest to break down and Chelsea are away from home, the betting opportunities that stand out most in our Halftime and Full-Time markets are:

• A Halftime draw and Liverpool Win at Full-Time with odds of 5.10 sound like compelling odds.
• A Draw/Draw selection with 7.00 odds could be fruitful, as these two clubs could cancel each other out completely.
• Last option, Liverpool win the Halftime and Draw at Full-Time with odds of 12.00, is the longest shot, but a shot nonetheless.
  

Who Will Score Liverpool & Chelsea’s First Goals?

There is always the urge to bet on who will score the first goal, as the odds are undeniably some of the best in football betting.

LFC v CFC: Possible Goal Scorers

Below are the best three options for first goalscorers and potential goalscorers and their odds from both clubs.

Liverpool Players:

• Mohammed Salah, first goal odds: 6.40 | goalscorer odds: 2.40,
• Diogo Jota, first goal odds: 6.75 | goalscorer odds: 2.80, and
• Luis Diaz, first goal odds: 7.50 | goalscorer odds: 2.90.

Chelsea Players:

• Cole Palmer, first goal odds: 8.00 | goalscorer odds: 3.05,
• Nicolas Jackson, first goal odds: 10.00 | goalscorer odds: 3.95, and
• Noni Madueke, first goal odds: 12.50 | goalscorer odds: 4.80.

Best Over and Under Markets: Liverpool vs Chelsea

Some markets could be key to your betting success this weekend. Here are some to look at if you want to build accas with some big possible returns.

• Corners Over 12.5 with odds of 2.65,
• Total Cards Under or Over 4.5: Odds for Over are 1.50 & Under at 2.38
• Total Shots On Target Over 9.5: Odds of 1.58

This game could go one of two ways:

1) There is so much action that you’ll battle to keep up with the Live In-Play markets, or
2) There is no action at all, and the two teams cancel each other out for a 0-0 draw.

With the abovementioned in mind, it’s easy to see we could be in for a punter’s dream this weekend, and expect a high influx of goals, cards, and moments to bet on.

Any Injury Updates Affecting the Outcome of the Game?

At the time of writing, there are no late injury scares for both English giants. The only injury update to discuss is the possible return of Chelsea fullback Reece James.
His return could impact the Blues dressing room positively. For now, we get to watch the Salah and Palmer show, where the English young blood takes on the experienced Egyptian King.
