There will probably be combined feelings for Fernando Torres as he prepares to put on the Chelsea shirt towards his former teammates, and that is just one of the things that make this tie so special. With both teams high on confidence after notching up a few wins in a row, we're likely to see an entertaining sport at Stamford Bridge.
Just as Chelsea followers have began to worry that Roman Abramovich has misplaced curiosity in the club and that he doesn’t plan to invest extra money into the squad, the Russian billionaire prepared engaging items for the Blues fans in the shape of Fernando Torres and David Luiz, who arrived to Stamford Bridge on one of the fascinating deadline days in Premier League history. With Chelsea returning to the precise track after going by a tough patch and Manchester United losing at Wolves, the Blues now have an incredible likelihood to shut their gap behind the title rivals as well as pour more misery on Liverpool. Fernando Torres is expected to start in opposition to his former membership after Carlo Ancelotti mentioned the Spaniard was compatible with Didier Drogba, while David Luiz is prone to start on the bench. Alex, Benayoun and Zhirkov are out injured.
Anfield, too, was a busy place on deadline day and few days earlier than, but if Liverpool followers have been disappointed to see Fernando Torres join Chelsea, they have been definitely happy with the captures of Andy Carroll and Luis Suarez, particularly after the Uruguayan scored on his debut. Three successive victories have propelled the Reds to 7th place in the standings, which is the highest they've been this season and there's no doubt Kenny Dalglish’s men can be trying to show Torres he made the flawed determination when choosing to join Chelsea. The completely mad formation with 4 centre-backs, two full-backs and no strikers that we've got seen in opposition to Stoke in some way produced results, although it was not earlier than Luis Suarez changed Fabio Aurelio that Liverpool turned an actual risk in the opponent’s half. The Uruguayan seems to have already earned a starting place, which, in all fairness, wasn’t that tough to realize, but Andy Carroll will have to wait some more to be handed a debut. Joe Cole and Christian Poulsen are injury doubts, while Jay Spearing is certainly out.
Conclusion
Having stabilized their kind and added Torres and Luiz to the squad, Chelsea have gotten to be considered favourites right here, and though online bookmakers have underestimated Liverpool, my advice is to again the Blues as they should prevail on this clash. Don’t go loopy with the stake, though.
Verdict: Residence win Chelsea (1)
