Kick-off: 4.30pm Premier League Head to Head Played: 60 Chelsea won: 21 Drawn: 16 Liverpool won: 23 Chelsea scored: 73 Liverpool scored: 76 Liverpool failed in their attempt to become the first team to win on three consecutive league visits to Stamford Bridge since Blackburn Rovers in May 1996 (both Premier League). This was the first game in the Premier League to allow licensed standing areas after all-seater stadiums had become compulsory in the 1994-95 season. The introduction of rail seating removed the movement allowed in the previous terrace structures.

Comments:

League position: 2nd Chelsea had now drawn five of their last six home games in the Premier League. The Blues remained without a win in their opening Premier League game of a year since 2016 against Crystal Palace (lost two). They had now kept a clean sheet in two of their last 11 games in the Premier League.

Comments:

League position: 3rd Liverpool avoided losing consecutive away games in the Premier League for the first time since February 2017. Mohamed Salah had now scored 150 goals in his club career in England (two for Chelsea and 148 for Liverpool). Aged 23 years and 87 days, Trent Alexander-Arnold became the fourth-youngest player to make 200 appearances for the Reds in all competitions; the youngest was Michael Owen, aged 22 years and 116 days.
