The Blues are languishing in ninth with just three games remaining, and facing the prospect of missing out on European football all together.
Mondayâs defeat to Nottingham Forest was the sixth in a row in the league, and Chelsea havenât won a league game since the 4-1 win against Aston Villa in March.
To make matters worse, the Blues are facing something of an injury crisis ahead of the game, with Jesse Derry set to miss the rest of the season.
Calum McFarlane confirmed Robert Sanchez would also miss the game, whilst Pedro Neto and Alejandro Garnacho are unlikely to feature.
Paul Merson has shared his prediction for the Liverpool vs Chelsea match, although the specific prediction details are not provided in the excerpt.
The match is significant as Chelsea is currently in ninth place and risks missing out on European football with only three games remaining in the season.
The Liverpool vs Chelsea match is scheduled for Saturday lunchtime.

That leaves Chelsea with no fit senior wingers, and having to field what will likely be an experimental line-up against the champions.
Chelsea have been the worst team in the league form wise since February, and face a tough task getting anything at Anfield, and Merson has now given his prediction.
âChelsea are completely out of the equation for Champions League qualification in my opinion,â he told Sportskeeda.
âI was there at Stamford Bridge when they lost 3-1 to Nottingham Forest on Monday.
âThey got absolutely destroyed and have now lost six straight games in the Premier League! Unbelievable run of poor form.
âI also donât understand why they were playing Cole Palmer as a right-winger. Heâs a number ten just play him there!
âI know Palmer has not impressed this season. But it also down to how Chelsea have set themselves up.
âJoao Pedro has been excellent but he is not a proper number nine, he likes to drop deep and that leaves little space for Palmer.
Iâm backing the hosts to get a crucial win at Anfield.
âPrediction:Â Liverpool 2-0 Chelsea.â
