'Over to you' - Liverpool fans send West Ham message after unlikely Chelsea draw

Chelsea were held to a 1-1 draw with Burnley on Saturday afternoon, reducing their lead at the top of the Premier League table.

Thomas Tuchel's side were firm favourites to come out on top against the Clarets and looked to be heading for three points, only for Burnley to strike 11 minutes from the full-time whistle through Matej Vydra.

Chelsea had taken the lead before half-time through Kai Havertz, but were made to pay the price for failing to convert a number of chances after the interval.

The result means Manchester City are now only three points behind the league leaders. Meanwhile, Jurgen Klopp's side can move to within one point of Chelsea with a win against West Ham United on Sunday afternoon.

The pressure is now on Liverpool to take full advantage of the unexpected scoreline from Stamford Bridge by not dropping points at the London Stadium.

Reacting to Burnley earning a share of the spoils on social media, Reds supporters were pleased with the outcome of the game but have called on their team to go out and deliver a performance against the Hammers.

David Moyes' Hammers are only one position below Liverpool in the Premier League standings and could move ahead of the Reds on Sunday.

West Ham are currently on a good run of form and have only lost two of their last 19 competitive matches in all competitions.
