The best result for the bookies would therefore probably be the draw at 9/4, providing that one of the leading suspects for first goalscorer doesn’t oblige. With Didier Drogba still out injured, Nicolas Anelka (9/2) and Frank Lampard (6/1) look the biggest goal threats for Chelsea, while Liverpool will be hoping that Fernando Torres can return from injury to feature in the game. If he does, the 13/2 about the Spaniard scoring the first goal is sure attract plenty of support as too will Steven Gerrard at big odd of 11/1. Gerrard is the feature player of Paddypower’s cashback offer on this game. If the Liverpool captain scores at any time during the game, Paddy Power will refund all losing firs goalscorer, last goalscorer, correct score and scorecast bets on this game.
