Here is a look at the Chelsea FC vs Liverpool FC May 2025 predictions from key members of the British media ahead of their Game Week 35 clash. On paper, it’s the clash of the weekend, but with Liverpool having already won the title, will the Reds step up at Stamford Bridge? There’s still a lot riding on this fixture for Chelsea though, with the Blues very much in the hunt for a Champions League spot next season.

Merson says that a few weeks ago, this would’ve been a tough game for Chelsea, but currently, “there is no better time” for them to be facing the Reds.

Says that the Premier League is a demanding one, and even a 5% reduction in intensity can hurt teams, which he reckons could be the case with Liverpool given they’ve already wrapped up the title.
