Chelsea v Liverpool Tip

Luis Suarez was denied by Manchester City on Boxing Day but the Uruguayan still put on an excellent performance and mustered five shots over the course of 90 minutes. He hasn’t gone two games in a row without scoring all season, so I’ll happily take him for first goalscorer at best odds of 5/1 with PaddyPower again here.

Liverpool emerged with great credit from the Etihad where they were probably the better team. They now head to Stamford Bridge with nothing to fear considering how average Chelsea have looked in recent weeks.

You wouldn’t touch the next three names in the first goalscorer market if Suarez was a legitimate option, which he is. Torres, Eto’o and Ba have mustered five league goals between them; the Reds star has 19 from 13 appearances. There really is no comparison.

Although Mourinho’s men are the big favourites here, the Merseysiders have only lost two of their last 13 top flight clashes with the Blues. A draw must be quite likely and that would return us our money in the event of a losing wager.
