Liverpool and Chelsea have started two wins, 2 clean sheets and 5 goals scored

Ahead of the Premier League matchday three action, both Liverpool and Chelsea have started the 2021-22 campaign with two wins, two clean sheets and fivegoals scored.

The Reds have started a top-flight campaign with three wins without conceding twice before in the Premier League; in 2013-14 and 2018-19, while Chelsea have done so three times; in 2004-05, 2005-06 and 2010-11.

Liverpool have won their last seven Premier League games and another win against the Blues is tipped to occur at (2.55) with BetKing.

Liverpool have lost just two of their last 13 Premier League meetings with Chelsea (W6 D5) and a win for Chelsea on Saturday is valued (2.85).

A draw between the London side and their Merseyside counterparts is tipped to occur at (3.25).

It remains to be seen whether Jurgen Klopp will involve Brazilian star Fabinho who missed the Burnley game after the loss of his father while Alex-Oxlade Chamberlain could also be involved after the birth of his child.

For Chelsea, only Christian Pulisic and Ruben Loftus-Cheek are not available because they returned positive Covid-19 results while N'Golo Kante and Hakim Ziyech are fit enough to face the Reds at Anfield.

The home side didn’t lose any of their first 22 Premier League meetings against Chelsea, winning 17 and drawing five. Since then, the home team has won just a further 12 of their 36 such meetings, with the away side winning 15 times in that time.

Liverpool have won their last seven Premier League games, winning each of their last four without conceding and while scoring at least twice. On just three occasions has a team won five-plus Premier League games in a row to nil while scoring two-plus goals each time – Chelsea in August 2010 (6), Chelsea in November 2016 (5) and Manchester City in August 2015 (5).

After losing just one of his first 13 managerial meetings with Chelsea’s Thomas Tuchel in all competitions (W9 D3), Liverpool boss Klopp has lost his last two against his compatriot. Only against three managers has Klopp ever lost three-plus consecutive meetings in his managerial career – Felix Magath (twice, in 2006 and 2010), Thomas Doll (2006) and Thomas Schaaf (2007).Diogo Jota has scored in both of Liverpool’s Premier League games so far this season and could become the fourth player to score in each of the Reds’ first three games to a Premier League campaign after Robbie Fowler (1994-95), Daniel Sturridge (2013-14) and Sadio Mane (2017-18).

Liverpool have scored 12 goals in their last five games across all competitions, having conceded six and kept two clean sheets. Chelsea have scored 10 goals, they have conceded four and kept two clean sheets in the same number of games. Punters can take an offer of over 2.5 goals at (1.83) with BetKing.
