Chelsea vs Liverpool Prediction: Tactical Analysis

• When Liverpool FC attack, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson play slightly higher up the field in the 4-3-3 formation. It’s because they are now playing like a traditional winger, which is an inverted full-back.
• Trent’s role as an inverted right back assists Mo Salah in most attacks. To move the ball into an attack, inverted full-backs play in a triangle with the midfielder and winger. In the inverted left back role, Robertson plays closely with Luis Diaz to attack from the left flank.
• Under Thomas Tuchel, Chelsea were relatively possession-based but none of their central defenders were particularly progressive.
• The central defenders did not typically take responsibility for moving the ball through the thirds.
• Chelsea’s main ball progressor tended to be Italian international midfielder Jorginho.
• Graham Potter, however, would likely change this. A tactical standpoint, Potter is very flexible, but he tends to prefer the back three system over the back four.
• At Chelsea, he would already have the players needed to make this system a success
