Liverpool faces notable absences, including first-choice goalkeeper Alisson Becker and star forward Mohamed Salah, alongside F. Wirtz and H. Ekitike. Chelsea is also without key figures like Robert Sánchez, Reece James, T. Chalobah, and Pedro Neto. Despite these significant missing players, the confirmed starting lineups for Liverpool – featuring Mamardashvili in goal, a strong defense, and a midfield of Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Frimpong, Szoboszlai, and Ngumoha supporting Gakpo – have surprisingly *increased* Liverpool's win probability by 1.0% post-lineup announcement, indicating the replacements are well-regarded by the model.

Our model's 60.5% probability for a Liverpool win stands in stark contrast to the market's 45.4%. This discrepancy creates a substantial +15.0% value, making a bet on **Liverpool to win at odds of 1.95** the clear best value proposition for this match.
