God. There's nothing quite like a Chelsea-Liverpool clash to get the heart racing, is there? This Sunday's showdown at the Bridge has me reaching for my betting slip faster than my morning coffee.

I've been obsessing over this matchup since Tuesday night. My brother (die-hard Liverpool fan) texted me at 2AM with his predictions, and I nearly threw my phone across teh room. Classic.

Free Money Alert!

Before I dive into my slightly unhinged betting tips, here's something you shouldn't ignore. Betfred is handing out £50 in free bets when you place a tenner on football. That's basically free money if you play it right.

I signed up for something similar last year and ended up winning enough for a decent dinner out. Then promptly lost it all on a ridiculous accumulator the following weekend. Learn from my mistakes, people.

What The Hell Am I Betting On?

After three espressos and way too much time staring at stats, I've landed on a 16/1 Bet Builder that I'm actually pretty confident about. Here's what I'm backing:

The match to end in a draw, with both Nicolas Jackson and Mohamed Salah finding the net.

Let me break this down...

These Teams Are Basically Twins

Look at the history. These two sides simply cannot be separated when they meet. Eight of their last ten encounters have ended level after 90 minutes. EIGHT! That's not coincidence, that's a pattern.

My editor bet me £30 last season that Liverpool would thrash Chelsea at Anfield. His response after the 0-0 draw: "I'm never betting against history again." Poor guy.

Jackson's Finally Found His Shooting Boots

Remember when everyone (including me) was slagging off Nicolas Jackson earlier this season? Well, I feel stupid now...

The man has scored three in his last two games, including that brace against Djurgarden midweek. He's finally looking like the striker Chelsea thought they were getting when they splashed the cash.

His movement has improved dramatically. Watch how he finds space now.

Salah Needs Just One More

Salah might not be on his usual goal rampage lately, but he did net against Spurs last weekend. And there's something else driving him...

He's sitting on 28 Premier League goals this season and needs just one more to equal the record for goals scored by a player aged 30 or older in a single campaign.

You think he doesn't know that stat? Trust me, he'll be absolutely desperate to score. And when Salah wants something...

This offer is for new customers only. You'll need to register (not valid on 05/04/25), deposit with a Debit Card, and place your first bet of £10+ at Evens (2.0)+ on Sports within 7 days.

Do that and you'll get 3 x £10 in Sports Free Bets & 2 x £10 in Acca Free Bets within 10 hours of settlement. They expire after 7 days, adn there are some eligibility exclusions. The usual stuff - full T&Cs apply.

I once missed out on a similar offer because I didn't read the expiry date properly. Ended up with nothing. Don't be like 2018 me.
