Peter Crouch predicts Chelsea vs Liverpool score, thinks there are plenty of goals coming
Peter Crouch expects to see goals on Saturday when Chelsea take on Liverpool at Stamford Bridge.
Both teams are looking to bounce back from Premier League defeats last weekend, with Liverpool losing again since then.
Arne Slot’s side have lost back-to-back games after their 1-0 loss to Galatasaray in the Champions League on Tuesday night, which follows Crystal Palace’s 2-1 victory against them.
Chelsea were able to see off Benfica, but Brighton & Hove Albion got the better of them last Saturday.
Peter Crouch backs Liverpool to beat Chelsea 3-1
Crouch thinks Liverpool will repeat what Brighton did and defeat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge over the weekend.
Giving his prediction on That Peter Crouch Podcast, the former striker said: “I’m going in. I’m going to go 3-1 Liverpool.”
Enzo Maresca will have to try and prove Crouch’s prediction wrong without several key players.
Levi Colwill was injured before the season even started, but Liam Delap and Dario Essugo have since joined him on the sidelines with serious problems themselves.
Cole Palmer will also miss the game, while Maresca ruled Andrey Santos out of contention as well. The Brazilian did not even make the bench for Chelsea’s win against Benfica.
Jurgen Klopp has spoken about Chelsea’s injury crisis, suggesting that the Club World Cup could be to blame.
Peter Crouch made very big claim about Robert Sanchez last season
Chelsea will also be without Trevoh Chalobah following his red card against Brighton, but Robert Sanchez returned that day after his own suspension and will be expected to start the Liverpool match.
Last season, Crouch spoke highly of Sanchez, claiming that he is good enough to be the first-choice goalkeeper at Stamford Bridge.
“He’s definitely got the ability to be the No.1 goalkeeper here, it’s just about the confidence,” the retired England international said.
After several high-profile errors, including the one that got him sent off at Old Trafford, Chelsea fans will disagree. In their ideal world, the club would have concluded a deal for Mike Maignan in the summer after targeting the AC Milan shot-stopper.
With his contract set to expire soon, he could still be on the move next year.
