Chelsea will be looking to continue their unbeaten start to life under Thomas Tuchel as they travel to Anfield to face Liverpool this evening.
Tuchel has enjoyed an excellent start but is now in the midst of a much tougher run of fixtures and will no doubt be hoping for better than Sunday’s dour 0-0 draw with Manchester United in what is a crucial fixture in the race for Champions League qualification.
The Reds returned to winning ways following the disappointment of a first Merseyside derby defeat at Anfield in a generation by beating Sheffield United 2-0 on Sunday evening.
But this will be a far bigger test of Jurgen Klopp’s side as they look to salvage their season by making the top four.
