This Tuesday, 27th January, Chelsea is host to Liverpool at Stamford Bridge for the second half of their League One Cup game.
The teams played the first half of the match last week at Anfield and the game ended in a 1 – 1 draw. That means that whichever team wins this match will progress to the next round of the tournament. Unfortunately for Liverpool, they’ve failed to beat Chelsea in the last few years and are currently going through a disappointing season. Furthermore, after crashing out of the FA Cup this weekend Chelsea will be determined for a victory.
This fact is reflected in the odds at Winner Sports. Chelsea are 4/7 favourites to win while the odds on Liverpool winnings are significantly longer at 5/1 and a draw has been set at 3/1. Furthermore, there are odds of 6/1 on Chelsea winning 1 – 0 and odds of 13/2 on a 2 – 0 win.
Chelsea is currently leading the Premier League with 52 points after winning 16 games, drawing 4 and losing 2. They are ahead of Manchester City by 5 points and in their last Capital One Cup match they beat Derby County 3 – 1.
Liverpool is eighth in the Premier League with 35 points having won 10 games, drawn 5 and lost 7. They are ahead of Swansea City by 5 points and in their last Capital One Cup match they beat AFC Bournemouth 3 – 1.
