Premier League 2024-2025: Chelsea-Liverpool, the likely lineups

Sunday, May 4, at London’s Stamford Bridge Stadium will see the Premier League match between Chelsea and Liverpool worth the 35th day of the championship. The hosts come to the challenge against the English champions, having won four to one, the semifinal and went against the Swedish team Djurgarden. the last league outing of the Blues is against Everton, which ended one to zero just for Chelsea. Currently, Enzo Maresca’s team is fifth in the league with 60 points in 34 games.

Liverpool is the champion of England, and for this they will receive the Guard of Honour from Chelsea, a kind of ceremony that takes place when a team plays its first game after already winning the league title. Players from the winning team — in this case Liverpool — walk between two parallel rows of cheering opposing players.

The Londoners are expected to take the field with a 4-2-3-1. In goal, Jorgensen will play. In defense, from right to left, we find Moisés Caicedo, adapted in the role of right-back to provide solidity and coverage. Trevoh Chalobah and Levi Colwill will be the two center backs. On the left will act Cucurella. In front of the defense, in the two-man median line, will be Romeo Lavia and Enzo Fernández: On the trequartista line, on the right will play Noni Madueke; in the center, in the trequartista role, will be Cole Palmer. On the left, on the other hand, Pedro Neto will act. In attack, as the central point, the offensive reference will be Nicolas Jackson.

Slot’s Liverpool, on the other hand, is expected to rely on a classic 4-3-3. Alisson will play in goal. In defense: on the left Tsimikas, on the right Alexander-Arnold who could center himself in the build-up phase; in the center Quansah and Konaté form the defensive pair. In midfield act Gravenberch, Elliott and Jones. In attack, on the right is the usual Salah, in the center Jota ready to move between the lines, and on the left the newcomer Chiesa.
