Liverpool have a lot of making up to do with their fans ahead of their Premier League clash against Chelsea.
The Reds have lost their last two games, with defeats coming against Crystal Palace and Galatasaray.
And, although it’s still early on in the season, it feels like a lot more should be coming from the Anfield outfit at this moment.
Players such as Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak have failed to live up to expectations, with their next Premier League game against Chelsea likely to be rather tough.
Ahead of the game on Saturday, Peter Crouch has shared his thoughts on the clash and which team he thinks will come out on top.
Peter Crouch thinks Liverpool will beat Chelsea 3-1 on Saturday
Liverpool’s last two performances have been well below their usual standards, with players such as Mohamed Salah not having any sort of impact on the game at all.
With this in mind, it’s hardly a surprise to see some fans and pundits predicting a Liverpool defeat.
On paper, Liverpool have a much stronger team, but with the way they played against Crystal Palace and Galatasaray, Enzo Maresca’s men could cause them a problem or two.
And, while speaking on the That Peter Crouch Podcast, the former Liverpool talisman shared his thoughts on which team is the most likely to leave Stamford Bridge with all three points.
“Obviously, with Arsenal winning in the last minute, it feels like they’re in the ascendancy a little bit,” he said.
“‘Liverpool probably need a reaction, but it’s a tough place to go, obviously, at Chelsea.
“I do think Liverpool will get a result here, though. I’m going in! I’m going to go 3-1 Liverpool.”
Liverpool need to prove to Arsenal that they’re still the best team in the Premier League
Seeing as though Liverpool were beaten by Palace last week, it means that Arsenal are now second in the Premier League table and are only two points behind the Reds.
Mikel Arteta’s men have been rather unlucky over the last few years, with the Gunners finishing second three years running.
This season, however, now that they have players such as Viktor Gyokeres among their ranks, things seem to be a little different at the Emirates.
Of course, Liverpool still managed to beat them thanks to a stunning free-kick from Dominik Szoboszlai, but since then, things have just gone downhill.
If Liverpool don’t beat Chelsea on Saturday, it’ll give Arteta’s men an even better chance at taking top spot away from Liverpool.
This would be far from ideal, especially since the Reds have spent over £400million trying to improve their ranks.
