"The Reds still hold a two point advantage over Arsenal and are three points clear of the Eagles in third as of this writing. However, if things go awry again at the Bridge, they could be looking up at the end of the weekend. A victory over the Blues would be a huge statement of intent and will keep the Gunners in chase mode for the time-being."
"Points dropped or gained in September and October are just as valuable as points lost or gained in the spring, so getting as much as they can from this one will be big when the season peaks in May. Chelsea currently sit in eighth while Manchester City are seventh meaning that Liverpool can still do a job to keep these perceived title challengers pinned down for as long as they can."
Liverpool have suffered consecutive defeats to Crystal Palace and Galatasaray, producing a rare rough patch under Arne Slot. Slot has not overseen three straight losses since taking charge at the beginning of last season, and the trip to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge represents a significant test. A win would maintain pressure on Arsenal and Crystal Palace in the title race and keep potential challengers like Chelsea and Manchester City pinned down. The squad underwent major summer changes with high-profile exits and arrivals, and beating a Big 6 rival would help restore collective belief among players who have yet to win silverware together.
