Chelsea vs Liverpool is right around the corner and fans cannot wait for this blockbuster of a game to take place. The Blues will be taking on one of the best teams in the Premier League and will hopefully continue their winning streak. The Reds are also on a winning run and neither team has conceded as of now. The Londoners will be looking to end that clean sheet streak, however, and the form that Romelu Lukaku is showing right now might just do the job.

The Blues are going into the match following a brilliant and dominant 2-0 win over rival Arsenal. Liverpool also put in a dominant performance last weekend, although it was against Burnley. Both teams will go into the game looking very strong, and the Blues will need a big performance to get the better of Jurgen Klopp’s team. The Merseyside men did lose the last encounter between the two sides, but they have won three times in their last five meetings.

There are a plethora of storylines, including the match up between the two managers, and a lot to look for in Liverpool vs Chelsea

Last time, the European Champions required a stunning solo goal from Mason Mount to finish off the game. This time, it may take a bit more, especially since Virgil van Dijk has returned to the team. However, Chelsea has a new reinforcement of its own in the new No. 9. Lukaku, who joined the club from Inter Milan this summer, already put a flawless performance against the Gunners. He will be hoping to continue his form and supporters will get to witness one of the best strikers in the world against one of the best central defenders on the planet.

A victory would also give the winning team a huge boost in confidence. Both of these sides are tipped to win the Premier League, and a loss would be quite detrimental to the team’s momentum. While these are still early days, a win could solidify the top four a bit and give fans an idea as to who will pick up the trophy at the end of the season.

Thus, without further ado, here are five things to look out for in the Liverpool vs Chelsea contest.
