Premier League football betting - Liverpool vs Chelsea

Chelsea travel to Liverpool today in a game that could decide the destination of the Premier League title. The Blues are currently top of the table but only by one point and will know they need to win both of their remaining games. While Liverpool have had a disappointing season,  most recently crashing out of the Europa League on Thursday, they are always tough to beat at Anfield.

In the absence of Fernando Torres, Dutch striker Dirk Kuyt is seen as Liverpool`s best hope of scoring the game`s first goal at 8/1, with David N`Gog at 9/1.
