Last time Liverpool welcomed Chelsea to Anfield the pair played one of the games of the season.
Despite no fans, and Liverpool having already secured the title, Jurgen Klopp's side ran out 5-3 winners before going to pick up the Premier League trophy on The Kop after the final whistle.
This year the mood is quite different at Anfield.
Klopp conceded the title last month, and the Reds are currently 22 points behind leaders Manchester City, and fighting just to get into the top four.
Chelsea are one point and one place better off than their rivals, currently sitting fifth in the table.
The Blues are unbeaten in their first seven league games under Thomas Tuchel, though their last two fixtures have ended in draws.
A win for either side tonight will see them leapfrog West Ham into the top four.
What time is Liverpool vs Chelsea?
Kick-off at Anfield will be at 8.15pm.
Two other top-flight games are being played on Thursday evening at 6pm: Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur and West Brom vs Everton.
The Toffees are also in the race to qualify for next season's Champions League and are level on points with Liverpool with a game in hand.
