Liverpool vs Chelsea Preview

Not only is this the biggest match of the weekend, it is the home of the biggest individual battle as Virgil van Dijk and Romelu Lukaku will square off in a 90 minute heavyweight bout.

The Belgian marksman enjoyed his second debut with Chelsea last weekend when he opened the scoring against Arsenal but will face stern resistance as the Dutch stopper appears to be back to his pre-injury form.

If the broadcast happened to dedicate one camera just to the duels between those two we would be forever grateful.

As for how the match will unfold, recent history suggests that we will have a winner on the day with the last five Premier League meetings seeing one side walk away with all three points.

With the match being played in front of a raucous Anfield crowd, I have to shade Liverpool in this one.

In a contest as close as this one is set to be, you need any help you can find to settle on a play and given Virgil van Dijk has never lost a Premier League match at Anfield (43 wins from 48 matches), that settles it.
