Stadium: Anfield (Liverpool)
Last season Thomas Tuchel's Chelsea defeated Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool at Anfield. What will be the outcome of the upcoming game? Which club will go to the break as the Premier League leader?
Liverpool form
As expected, Liverpool started the season with two wins-to-nil over Norwich and Burnley with a combined score of 5-0. The Reds seem to gain their strength back to fight for the top place to the last.
Chelsea form
Chelsea is not far behind Liverpool, having won two games with the same total score of 5-0. They routed Crystal Palace and Arsenal, and Romelu Lukaku was directly involved in taking out the latter. So we are waiting for a heated duel between Lukaku and Van Dijk. Virgil certainly won't let anyone treat him like Pablo Marí.
Injuries and suspensions
Liverpool: Fabinho, Jones, Milner.
Chelsea: Loftus-Cheek, Pulisic.
Head-to-head encounters
Liverpool and Chelsea have had a total of 187 official matches. The Reds lead with a score of 80-65. Last season, the teams exchanged away wins, 2-0 at Stamford Bridge and 1-0 at Anfield. The latter was under Thomas Tuchel.
