Thomas Tuchel will no doubt be looking forward to renew his rivalry with Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp.
Chelsea go to Anfield knowing a win will be enough for them to return to the top four places but even the new Chelsea boss knows how big a task it is to get all three points at Anfield.
Tuchel said: "We always have a chance to win any game, because we have self-confidence, good shape, we have everything we need to win against everybody and to be a tough opponent.
"At the same time you can always lose games in the Premier League, because it's the toughest competition you can face. So I'm pretty relaxed about that.
"Of course I'm pretty sure Liverpool miss their fans the way we miss our fans.
"I know from experience the impact a crowd at Anfield can have on their team.
"And yes they dropped points, sometimes deserved but also many times not deserved, there was also a streak of very unlucky results.
"But it's also clear they are one of the strongest teams in Europe, they proved that again in Leipzig, one of the best managers in Europe, there's no doubt about it.
"But we are confident enough to go there and prepare ourselves for what we have to do to win, and that's nothing other than a top, top, A-level performance."
