6-3? four goals by sheva and two from kalou.
-
Liverpool victory will depend on the confidence of steven gerrard.
If he play well, 1:0 (Finnan to score 1st half)
If he sleep, 0:4
Lampard is on fire again and very hard to stop him from scoring. -

Benitez had said last night , now it's time to chase Chelsea for the 2nd ....
First must deny them anymore points ..... -
damn, with chelsea's current defence i am predicting a tight 1-1 draw.
-
A draw will be fair ..... a win is also possible for Liverpool .
It depends on whether John Terry is playing or not , if not ..... it is possible Liverpool can win at Anfield .
Essien to be the make-shift centre-back is most welcome . -
tis is one of the decision match which liverpool might close the gap wif chelsea.
on the other important match, arsenal vs man utd, it will be better if man utd also drop points.
tis two horse races is definitely boring~! -
The quality of the Liverpool players except Stevie belongs to a mid table team.
Liverpool does not have the quality to beat chelsea.
Since thumb sucker is down, the rest of the strikers will take turns to hold their heads for missing a penalty, a sitter and a volley.
The Liverpool goal will be breached.
They can play well when they want.
The question is that do they want to or can they do it.
Honestly, the possible win over chelsea is two season later, not on sat. -
Mark Lawrenson , his comments & his prediction :
"Chelsea are unbeaten in 14 games, but we all know things aren't well. There's no John Terry and there is probably no better time to play them.
After their last two home performances against Arsenal, Liverpool will want to produce some sort of reaction and I feel they can notch a rare win against one of the top teams. "
Prediction: Liverpool win 2-1 -
19.1.07 LFC vs Chelsea: Latest team news
Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez must decide which of his front-line strikers plays against Chelsea at Anfield.
Benitez used Dirk Kuyt, Peter Crouch and Craig Bellamy in last weekend's 3-0 win at Watford, but he is unlikely to be as bold against the champions.
Benitez also used three centre-backs at Watford but again is likely to choose two from Jamie Carragher, Sami Hyypia and Daniel Agger. Mark Gonzalez is back in contention, Rafa Benitez has confirmed.
Bolo Zenden is back in training after a knee injury while Momo Sissoko, Luis Garcia and Harry Kewell remain sidelined.
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho is without veteran France midfielder Claude Makelele and England defender Wayne Bridge.
Makelele is suspended and his holding role is almost certain to be handed to Mikel Jon Obi with Michael Essien continuing to partner Ricardo Carvalho in the centre of defence in the absence of captain John Terry.
Mourinho has been rocked by the loss of Bridge with knee ligament damage which is expected to sideline him for two weeks.
Goalkeeper Petr Cech could make his first return since fracturing his skull against Reading in October. Chelsea remain without Terry (back), Joe Cole (foot) and Khalid Boulahrouz (knee).
Teams:
Liverpool (from): Reina, Finnan, Carragher, Agger, Hyypia, Riise, Aurelio, Pennant, Gonzalez, Gerrard, Alonso, Bellamy, Crouch, Fowler, Kuyt, Dudek, Paletta, Zenden, Guthrie.
Chelsea (from): Hilario, Cech, Cudicini, Hedman, Geremi, Ferreira, Carvalho, Essien, A Cole, Lampard, Ballack, Robben, Drogba, Shevchenko, Mikel, Diarra, Kalou, Wright-Phillips. -
