This Sunday, fourth placed Liverpool will travel to London to take on third placed Chelsea, in what promises to be an enthralling encounter. Here’s a look at three reasons why Liverpool should be able to walk away with the three points from Stamford Bridge.
1. Luis Suarez
The Uruguayan is in the form of his life since returning his 10-match ban for biting Branislav Ivanovic. Coming up against Ivanovic and Chelsea will be added incentive for the striker, and he will undoubtedly be chomping at the bit to get onto the field and silence the Chelsea fans. As evidenced by the moments of brilliance he showed to carve open the City backline, he’s capable of slicing open a compact Chelsea defense with a single swoosh of his boot.
If he’s able to keep his focus for the full 90 minutes, and manages to keep his cool in a game that he’s undoubtedly going to be targeted by Jose Mourinho, he can be the difference-maker for a Liverpool side otherwise bereft of magic. Even on an average day, he has the ability to create something out of nothing, and that may be the key to unlocking a Chelsea side that will undoubtedly be set up to ensure that they do not concede.
