Liverpool vs Chelsea LIVE
Premier League 2018-19
Venue: Anfield, Liverpool
Kick-off time: 4:30pm GMT
Referee: Michael Oliver
Liverpool face their most difficult remaining fixture of their domestic title run-in this afternoon as they host Chelsea at Anfield.
The Premier League leaders returned to the summit and took a two-point lead over quadruple-chasers Manchester City last Friday night as Naby Keita, Mohamed Salah and Jordan Henderson all struck during a hard-fought 3-1 comeback win at Southampton.
Liverpool's next match takes place just minutes after Crystal Palace vs City finishes at Selhurst Park, so it could be that Jurgen Klopp's side, by virtue of their inferior goal difference, will once again need to win in order to regain their place at the summit.
Chelsea famously helped wreck Liverpool's 2014 title bid at Anfield - surely they won't do it again?
