They have won six European Cups which is more than any English team in history. Liverpool has also won three UEFA Cups, three UEFA Super Cups, 18 League titles, seven FA Cups a record 8 League Cups, 15 FA Community Shields and one Football League Super Cup title .

Right after he took charge, Jurgen Klopp led the Reds to runner-up finishes in the Football League Cup and in the UEFA Europa League.

Who Wins?

Liverpool leads the Premier League with an unbeaten 5-0 SU record. The Reds have given up just four goals in a total of five matches while scoring 15 of their own. It has been an impressive start for Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane so far. On the other hand, Chelsea ranks 6th in the EPL with a record of 2-2-1 SU. The Blues are coming off a 5-2 win over Wolverhampton in their last outing.

Head to head, these teams have played in a total of 62 matches. Chelsea has a total of 25 wins while Liverpool has 20 victories against the Blues. These two teams have played to a draw in 17 matches.  These teams have played to a draw in four out of their last eight meetings.

These two teams have been competitive against each other and have played to a draw in half of their last eight head to head matches. However, I think Liverpool is playing the best football among the Premier League teams right now and their offense has been on full display. Defensively, Liverpool is also showing its brilliance and when you have a club playing that well on both ends of the field, you really can’t say no to them. Prediction: Liverpool
