Chelsea vs Liverpool prediction
Liverpool head into this game as Premier League leaders alongside fighting on in the FA Cup and the UEFA Europa League as part of a strong start to 2024 for Klopp.
The Reds are unbeaten in their last eight meetings with Chelsea, across all competitions — but seven of those ended as draws — prior to a 4-1 Anfield win at the end of January.
If that pattern is followed at Wembley, this clash could go to another penalty shootout, with Liverpool holding the edge in previous spot-kick showdowns.
Prediction: Chelsea 1-1 Liverpool (Liverpool to win on penalties)
