The time has come for Liverpool to embrace the next major hurdle in their first Premier League campaign under new head coach Arne Slot.
Liverpool will host fellow contenders Chelsea at Anfield after earning 18 points from their first seven matches of the 2024/25 season. However, skepticism remains regarding the Reds’ title chances, especially given their relatively favorable early schedule. This has led pundits to dismiss Liverpool’s title aspirations ahead of the October international break. Gary Neville has responded to Paul Merson’s score prediction for the Liverpool vs. Chelsea match.
Gary Neville has predicted that Liverpool will secure all three points against Chelsea when domestic football resumes this weekend. The former Manchester United defender forecasts a 3-1 victory for Liverpool, which would keep them at the top of the Premier League table.
“I believe Liverpool will win. Chelsea is a younger side… 3-2? No, 3-1—Liverpool 3-1,” Neville stated during *The Overlap*. He also mentioned the anticipated electric atmosphere, suggesting that Chelsea might struggle under the pressure. However, the exact outcome remains uncertain.
