Chelsea vs Liverpool: Kick off time, TV channel information and the latest injury news

Chelsea and Liverpool will both be looking to put Champions League disappointment behind them when they clash in the Premier League this weekend.

The Blues welcome the Premier League leaders to Stamford Bridge on Sunday, with Frank Lampard still searching for his first home win in charge of Chelsea.

But they face a tough test against Jurgen Klopp’s men, who have a 100 per cent record in the league this season with five wins from five so far.

That has given them a five point lead at the top of the table, with the Reds looking to continue their impressive start to the new season.

However, both sides lost in the Champions League last night (Tuesday), with Liverpool losing 2-0 against Napoli, while Chelsea lost out 1-0 at home against Valencia.

Below, we look at the key information for the clash in west London this weekend.
