Chelsea vs Liverpool: EPL betting guide and tips
By Mike Malley
They’ve scored first in three of their previous five contests and have 23 goals in first halves this season, which is fourth best in the Premier League. I assume Saltor will maintain a three-in-the-back system in the immediate aftermath of his appointment, but Salah always seems to finish a chance against his former club.
For anyone feeling brave, I don’t hate putting a flier down on a parlay with the over and Salah anytime goalscorer, which comes out to +286 odds. It’s solid value on what feels like two pretty safe legs.

My Chelsea picks:
Deep down in my heart, I feel like the Blues are going to get smoked on Tuesday. This match feels like an opportunity for Klopp and his players to take their frustrations out on another big-name, glamor club like Chelsea.

Perhaps the new manager bounce could prevent demolition, but only time will tell. With that being said, here are my largely pro-Liverpool picks. Give me over 2.5 total goals at -122 odds, 0-1 Liverpool anytime correct score at +100, and the aforementioned Salah anytime goalscorer prop at +200. It’s difficult to predict these so far in advance, which is probably why I haven’t hit one in the year that I’ve been doing the betting guides. This feels as close to a lock as I’ll get, though.
