Liverpool Vs Chelsea - 2019/20 Premier League Matchday 37

My Pre-match thoughts

Chelsea will feature at the 2020/21 UEFA Champions League season should they beat a Liverpool side who have already secured their first Premier League win ever since the inaugural season of the English league in 1992/93. Liverpool have dropped a substantial amount of points ever since it became mathematically impossible for them to lose top spot, including a home draw to Burnley and an away defeat to Arsenal. The importance of having a Champions League campaign next season is the club's top goal this season and plays an integral part rebuilding and bringing back the Chelsea side being a team to fear for Premier League and Champions League contenders. 

Participation in such a prestigious competition will attract world-class players to sign for the clubs (such as Kai Havertz or Koulibaly) as they would prefer to play for a team in the Champions League rather than the Europa League in addition to the fact that the club profits and gains more money in seasons where the club has participated in the UEFA Champions League, see this .

In conclusion, Champions League football next year is an objective that MUST be achieved. 


My Prediction: Liverpool 1-2 Chelsea 

Liverpool has guaranteed themselves a Premier League trophy, a goal in which they have put in a respectable and impressive amount of effort in the past few years to have finally achieved this year, however they do lack the drive to win games as they do not have any goal to achieve anymore which shows as they have dropped 10 points since Lockdown. This fixture means a lot to Chelsea as it will guarantee them Champions League football, Frank Lampard and the players know what's at stake and I am predicting a Chelsea victory.
