Liverpool vs. Chelsea Prediction, Picks for Premier League – Saturday, May 9
With three games remaining on their schedule, Liverpool is currently sitting in the No. 4 spot in the Premier League table with 58 points. Fifth-place Aston Villa also has 58 points, and sixth-place Bournemouth has 52 points, so Liverpool needs to avoid losing out the rest of the way to ensure they’re playing Champions League football next season.
The top-five teams in the Premier League qualify for the Champions League next year, making it paramount for Liverpool to finish the campaign strongly despite producing disappointing results this season. That being said, if fifth-place Aston Villa were to win the Europa League, the top six teams could qualify for the UCL.
According to PrizePicks Team Picks, “Yes” on Liverpool to finish inside the top four in the EPL possesses a 1.38x payout.

On the other hand, Chelsea has been crashing down the Premier League standings after once being in a solid position to earn Champions League qualification.
Chelsea is in ninth place in the EPL with 48 points, giving them the same amount of points as 10th-place Everton and 11th-place Fulham. They’re also only three points back of seventh-place Brentford and four points behind Bournemouth.
Getting to the No. 7 spot would qualify Chelsea for the Conference League next season, while climbing to No. 6 would get them into the Europa League.
