Chelsea and Liverpool will collide in the biggest premier league game of the weekend. Only a single point separates these two top teams and result will matter a lot in the title race.
Blues, as well known have not lost a single league game at Stamford Bridge under Jose Mourinho will face an in-form Reds side who were again fantastic against City but were unlucky to lose.
Can Brendan Rodgers end Jose’s brilliant run at the Bridge, we shall see but it is surely a major possibility given Chelsea’s lack of goal scoring form and Liverpool’s ability to cut the best of defenses apart.
Unable to stop Luis Suarez and the result is inevitable. Apart from Newcastle game, since Suarez’s return from suspension, Liverpool have lost all (four) games in which he has not scored (United, Arsenal, Hull, City). In others he has perhaps single-handedly ripped opponents apart.
Chelsea’s main threat will most likely be Eden Hazard and Reds’ defense that is vulnerable especially from set pieces. Surely, Mourinho is likely to plan to exploit that weakness.

My likely lineup will be cech,ivanovic,cole,mikel,luiz,terry,oscar,lampard,mata,torres and hazard.
that is a winning line-up.with the likes of mata,oscar n hazard combing wil give a positive result but the only problem there is lampard. The winning line-up of chelsea fc now is: ceck,ivanovic,cole,luiz, terry,mikel,remiras,mata,oscar,hazard n torres.This is chelsea’first xi but at times it look like jose is there not to coach chelsea again.The best line up since he begining was tht of chelsea vs swansea bt scatted second half.He has only one sub which was eto’o. Jose don’t hv coaching sense again.Let him gamble on sunday again.
cech/ ivanovich/luiz/terry/ceazar/mikel/william/oscar/mata/hazard/torress
Due to Ramires’ suspension, my possible line up is; Cech, Iva, Azpi, Terry, Cahill, Lamps, Mikel, Hazard, Mata, Oscar Torres
Mignolet; Sahkho, Skrtel, Agger; Kelly, Johnson; Henderson, Lucas, Allen, Coutinho; Suarez. This would be my preferred line up against Chelsea. Change the formato to confuse Mourinho’s game plan which will be planned to nulify Liverpool’s current formation. In the second half, take off one of our centre backs and bring on Raheem Sterling. I feel with such game plan we will capture all three points; over to you Rodgers.
MOURINHO MIGHT COME TO CLOSE DOWN LIVERPOOL ON THE RANKS. SO EXPECT A BUS WITH A LOT OF MIDFIELD PLAYERS, WE MIGHT EVEN SEE ESSIEN ON THE PITCH, DONT BE SURPRISED TO SEE OSCAR AND MATA ON THE BENCH…….but that is football of cowards chelsea should even have won at Arenal but Mourinho cowardly packed the midfield to restrict players performance
