The Overview:

The last time Liverpool and Chelsea face one another was in the UEFA Super Cup in August 2019. It was an enthralling contest with the scoreline reading 2-2, as Liverpool eventually won the game on penalties.
For Chelsea, Mason Mount has done well in limited time, with three goals in five appearances.
However, it’s Tammy Abraham who’s making the headlines more often than not as the young Englishman has registered seven goals in four appearances for the Blues, which also includes a hat-trick in his last league game against Wolves.
Liverpool’s centre half, Virgil Van Dijk didn’t have a good outing at Naples but will indefinitely be the one given the responsibility of keeping Tammy Abraham from scoring.

Chelsea carries the tag of unpredictability while Liverpool oozes consistency. That being said, Liverpool might return home with all three points against the London Blues.
