Chelsea is currently 8th in the Premier League standings with eight points. Their main man, Cole Palmer, is set to miss significant playing time following a groin injury. The midfielder is expected to be out of action till mid-October. Summer arrivals Dario Essugo and Liam Delap are also injured and will have to sit out till October-end.
Defender Trevor Chalobah was shown the red card in the game against Brighton and has been suspended for Saturday’s match. Moreover, defenders Levi Colwill, Tosin Adarabioyo, and Wesley Fofana are injured. This leaves a significant gap in Chelsea’s defense.
Meanwhile, Liverpool leads the table with 15 points. Last season’s Golden Boot winner, Mo Salah, leads the goal campaign with three goals across all competitions this season. The Reds don’t have any significant injuries in their squad.
Both teams have played 66 head-to-head matches in the Premier League. Chelsea won 22 matches, Liverpool won 25, and 19 games ended in a draw.

Premier League Betting Odds: Chelsea vs Liverpool
7bet offers competitive Chelsea vs Liverpool betting odds.
Please note that the odds mentioned below are accurate as of the publishing time of the article.
1X2 Odds
| Chelsea (1) | X | Liverpool (2) |
| 11/6 | 8/3 | 6/5 |
1X2 bet is popular in several sports that are played between two players or teams. It’s also called the match winner or three-way bet. The ‘1’ refers to the home team, ‘X’ is the draw, and the ‘2’ refers to the away team.
In this market, bettors can back one of the following outcomes:
- 1: Home team (Chelsea) wins
- X: Draw
- 2: Away team (Liverpool) wins
The 1X2 market represents the true odds of the match. This means it gives the real probability of all outcomes in an event with an unbiased view. So, if a team has long odds, where the payout is higher, the outcome is considered less likely. Similarly, if a team has short odds, where the payout is lower, the outcome is considered more likely.
So, how do you know if the odds are long or short? Study the odds given by the bookmaker carefully. UK sportsbooks use fractional odds where the numerator is the profit, and the denominator is the stake. This means bets on Chelsea (1) with 11/6 odds pay £11 for every £6. Similarly, successfully predicting Liverpool (2) to win the match will pay £6 for every £5, and correctly predicting a draw (X) will pay £8 for every £3. Bookmakers also return the stake on winning bets.
Upon simplifying, bets on Chelsea pay £1.83 per pound, Liverpool bets pay £1.2, and a draw pays £2.6 per pound. As you may note, bets on both teams pay nearly the same. This means bookmakers rate both teams’ chances as nearly equal. The Blues have six Premier League titles and finished fourth last season. They also won the FIFA Club World Cup earlier this year. Meanwhile, the Reds are the defending champions of the top flight. Both teams are strong, so make sure to carefully analyse which bet will give you the best value for money.
Check both teams’ head-to-head history, recent form, injuries, and lineup. Managing your capital is equally important in this market. Choose the lowest bet amounts required and spread the risk by considering low-risk markets like Draw No Bet and Double Chance.
Double Chance
| Chelsea or Draw | Chelsea or Liverpool | Draw or Liverpool |
| 3/5 | 4/15 | 3/8 |
The double chance market is useful when both teams appear to be evenly matched, and you are unsure who to back. This is also a better option than 1X2 for cautious bettors. Double chance is low-risk as it offers a double shot at winning:
- Chelsea or Draw (1X): This bet loses if the Reds win.
- Chelsea or Liverpool (12): You lose if the game ends in a draw.
- Draw or Liverpool (X2): This bet loses if the Blues win.
Bettors can pick two outcomes in the same bet. This increases your winning probability to 66% (2 out of 3). However, since the chance of a win is higher, your payout in this market will be lower than 1X2.
Check both teams’ win-loss-draw record in the last 10 matches to decide which way to bet. Chelsea had 5 wins, 3 losses, and 2 draws in their last 10 matches, whereas Liverpool had 7 wins and 3 losses in the same period. Use this data to minimise your risk when considering the Chelsea vs Liverpool betting odds.
Draw No Bet
| Chelsea | Liverpool |
| 23/20 | 11/17 |
The Draw No Bet (DNB) market is yet another alternative to 1X2. Here, the option of a draw is removed, and only match-winner bets are considered. So, you have to bet that either Chelsea or Liverpool will win the match. If the match ends in a draw, your stake is refunded.
It’s a smart choice if you think a draw is the least likely outcome on Saturday. However, bettors should note that this market pays out less than 1X2. Since you get the insurance of a stake refund in case of a draw, bookmakers offer lower odds in this market to even it out. This is also reflected in the Chelsea vs Liverpool betting odds, where Draw No Bet options typically come with reduced payouts compared to standard win bets, due to the added safety net.
Consider how many times both teams had a draw in their recent matches. Chelsea drew two of their last 10 matches, and Liverpool was last held to a draw in May. Only one of their last five head-to-head matches ended in a draw. Use this data to minimize your risk.
Handicap Betting Odds
| Chelsea (+0.25) | Liverpool (-0.25) |
| 20/23 | 20/21 |
| Chelsea (-1.5) | Liverpool (+1.5) |
| 9/2 | 1/8 |
| Chelsea (+1.75) | Liverpool (-1.75) |
| 2/13 | 15/4 |
Handicaps add an interesting element to sports betting. This bet can be used to give an advantage or a disadvantage to a team. For example, choosing a positive handicap of +0.5 adds 0.5 points to your chosen team’s final goal total. The same number of points is subtracted from the other team. So, let’s say you want to bet on Chelsea but are not sure if they will win the match. Give them a handicap of +0.5. If the match ends 1-1, the final total will be calculated as 1.5–0.5 after adjusting the handicap. This means bets on Chelsea win even if they draw the match.
Moreover, handicap bets can also be used to maximize your returns. Let’s say you are so confident of Liverpool’s win that you bet on them to overcome a deficit. Betting on them in the 1X2 market pays £1.2 at 6/5 odds. But betting on them to overcome a -1.75 handicap pays £3.75 at 15/4 odds.
Be careful when choosing a handicap, as it’s important to consider the goal margin. If you are a cautious bettor, choose bigger handicaps like +1.75, where the other team must win the match by a significant number of goals to overcome the gap.
Here are two examples of how the goal-margin works with different handicaps:
- Chelsea (+0.25) / Liverpool (-0.25): Chelsea gets a +0.25 points advantage in this bet. This means Liverpool must win the match with at least a one-goal difference to overcome the gap. For example, the match draws 1–1. After adjusting the handicap, the scoreline will be read as 1.25–0.75, and bets on Chelsea win. This small margin ensures that bets on Chelsea win in case of a draw.
- Chelsea (-1.5) / Liverpool (+1.5): This is the opposite scenario, where Liverpool has a big advantage over Chelsea. The Blues must win the match with a four-goal margin to overcome the gap. A two-goal difference of 3–1 gets adjusted as 1.5–2.5, and bets on Liverpool win. A three goal difference, like 3–0 leads to payout on draw bets (1.5–1.5). But with a four-goal difference of 4–0, the final score becomes 2.5–1.5, and bets on Chelsea win.
Liverpool’s last five games had a one-goal difference. Chelsea had a one-goal difference in three matches, and two games had a two-goal difference.
Both Teams to Score (BTTS Odds)
| Yes | No |
| 10/21 | 31/20 |
The Both Teams to Score (BTTS) is a special market that only considers one aspect of the match. Here, you have to predict whether both teams will be able to score at least once. The final winner or the score doesn’t matter. Your bet wins as long as both Chelsea and Liverpool score at least one goal each.
The “Yes” bets win as long as the final score doesn’t have a zero in it. In “No” bets, punters predict that one or both teams will fail to score. For example, if the score is 1–2, 3–1, or 3–3, your bet wins. Even if the match ties, your bet wins as long as the score is at least 1–1. However, if the score has a zero, such as 1–0, 0–0, or 2–0, the “Yes” bets lose and “No” bets win.
Consider both teams’ clean sheet records in this market. A clean sheet means the team’s goalkeeper didn’t let even a single goal through, and the opposition team’s score remained zero. In their last 10 fixtures, Chelsea kept three clean sheets, and Liverpool kept two.
Goal Total (Over/Under) Odds
| Over 3.5 | Under 3.5 |
| 13/10 | 4/7 |
In an Over/Under bet, punters have to predict whether the final scoreline will be over or under their chosen total. For example, you choose to bet on Over 3.5 goals. The final score total has to be at least four for your bet to win. So, any score like 2–2, 3–1, 4–0 is a winner. Your bet wins even if the match ends in a draw (as long as the total is over four). Similarly, Under 3.5 bets win as long as the final total is under three goals combined. Scores like 2–1, 1–0, 0–0, 0–1, 0–2 will all win in an Under 3.5 bet.
So, how to choose whether to bet over or under? Consider the average goal total of both teams in their recent matches. Both Chelsea and Liverpool are known for scoring freely. In their last 10 games, both teams scored 1.9 average goals. This brings their combined goal total to 3.8. Their head-to-head goal total in the last five meetings was 3.0 (15 goals in 5 matches). Use this data when considering the Chelsea vs Liverpool betting odds in the Over/Under market.
Correct Score Odds
| 1/0 (Chelsea Wins) | 1/1 (Draw) | 0/1 (Liverpool Wins) |
| 13/1 | 6/1 | 11/1 |
Bettors need to consider two aspects of the game in this market: who will win, and what the exact score will be. The Correct Score market gives long odds as the probability of predicting an exact result is difficult.
For example, predicting a precise 1–0 win for Chelsea pays £13 for every pound, and correctly predicting Liverpool’s 0–1 victory pays £11 per pound. These are just two possible scorelines. Punters are free to pick any score combination between zero and +5 by adjusting the betting line on our page.
This is a difficult market to win, so manage your bankroll by betting only small amounts.
