Liverpool Will Look To Keep Pace With Manchester City With Win Over Chelsea
Published on April 13th, 2019 5:00 pm ESTWritten By: Dave Manuel
Sunday is going to be a very big day at the top of the English Premier League table, as three of the top four clubs will be in action. Liverpool currently sits at the top of the table with 82 points, while Man City is two points behind with a total of 80 points. Man City, however, has an all-important game in hand in their back pocket, so they still control their own destinies.
With Man City playing a very winnable game against Crystal Palace on Sunday, Liverpool will be forced to notch a win over Chelsea, or else they will likely be in very big trouble. In reality, Liverpool can not lose another game this season if they want to have a hope of winning the title.
Chelsea desperately needs to win on Sunday as well, as they currently sit in fourth place in the table. Chelsea obviously wants to catch Tottenham for the #3 spot in the table, but at the very least they want to hang on to #4 spot, which gives them a UCL playoff spot. Manchester United won on Saturday, and they currently sit two points behind Chelsea.
In short - this is a massive game for both Liverpool and Chelsea on Sunday.
Liverpool will be hosting the contest on Sunday, so they are being given the edge to win. Here is a look at the betting odds as of this moment, courtesy of Bet365:
