In a highly anticipated Premier League match, Chelsea will host newly crowned champions Liverpool at Stamford Bridge today, May 4, 2025. The match is scheduled to kick off at 15:30 GMT, with Chelsea looking to make a statement against the team that has dominated English football for years.
Chelsea, currently in fifth place, are fighting for a top-five finish and Champions League qualification, while Liverpool have nothing to play for after securing the league title last weekend. Despite the difference in stakes, the Blues have shown impressive form at home, winning seven of their last nine games at Stamford Bridge across all competitions.
Liverpool, on the other hand, are basking in the glory of their title triumph, achieved with four games to spare. Arne Slot’s side have avoided defeat in each of their last 20 Premier League games played in May, and they’re looking to maintain their unbeaten run against Chelsea. The Reds’ last defeat in the final month of the season came against Chelsea, seven years ago.
Team News and Lineups
Chelsea’s Robert Sanchez and Christopher Nkunku are doubtful for the match, while Wesley Fofana, Omari Kellyman, Marc Guiu, Aaron Anselmino, and Mykhaylo Mudryk are all out with injuries. Liverpool’s Joe Gomez will miss the game due to a hamstring problem, but Conor Bradley is set to return to the fold.
Recent Form
Chelsea have been in good form lately, winning three games in a row across all competitions. Nicolas Jackson has scored three goals in his last two games, including a brace off the bench against Djurgardens in the Conference League. Liverpool, meanwhile, thrashed Tottenham 5-1 last weekend to secure the title.
Prediction and Preview
Given Liverpool’s lack of stakes in the match, Chelsea might have an opportunity to cause an upset. The Blues have a strong home record, but they’ve struggled against Liverpool in recent years, losing 10 games in a row against the Reds. A Chelsea win is a possible outcome, but Liverpool’s quality and experience shouldn’t be underestimated.
