Chelsea vs. Liverpool prediction: Premier League odds, pick

There is some afternoon English Premier League action as Chelsea faces Liverpool on Wednesday.

Match time is set for 3:15 p.m. ET, as Chelsea comes in as a significant underdog (+420) at FanDuel Sportsbook against the goliath of Liverpool, which has settled at -180.

The odds a draw is the second most likely outcome of this star-studded contest at +360 odds.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp shocked the sporting world over the weekend by announcing he would step away from the club at the end of the season.

And that sentiment — that Liverpool will want to win this one desperately for their walkaway coach — has seeped into the betting market. 

Chelsea has struggled for consistency in front of goal this season, but its statistical profile remains quite strong and always makes it a viable candidate at these kinds of prices.

The Blues are the second-best team in the Premier League (behind Liverpool) at creating big scoring chances and rank fourth in expected goal difference per 90 minutes.

These two teams played a hard-fought draw in Matchweek 1 and I wouldn’t be shocked if we see something similar Wednesday afternoon.
