It’s third against first on Saturday evening as Chelsea and Liverpool play each other for the second time in four days. Following Chelsea’s 2-1 victory at Anfield in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday, Jurgen Klopp’s men will be looking for revenge as they look to preserve their 100 per cent winning start in the Premier League.
The Reds strolled to victory in their last league win, with Mohamed Salah and Joel Matip getting on the scoresheet in a comfortable 3-0 win at home to Southampton. On the other hand, Chelsea will be looking to bounce back in the Premier League after they dropped their first points of the season last Sunday at West Ham.
The 0-0 draw meant they dropped to third place on goal difference to Manchester City – Liverpool are top of the table.
What time does it start?
Chelsea vs Liverpool kicks off at 5:30pm (BST) on Saturday 29 September.

The match will be shown live on BT Sport 1 from 5:00pm (BST).
BT Sport subscribers can also watch online via the BT Sport app.
Highlights will be shown at 10:30pm on BBC One.
It’s a big game for…
Mohamed Salah. The Liverpool winger has not quite found the miraculous form of last season as of yet, and will go to Stamford Bridge with a chip on his shoulder against his former club. Salah, who was unable to make an impact in the midweek defeat as a late substitute, was barely given a chance during his time at Chelsea from 2014 to 2016, and will want to silence the home fans with an eye-catching performance.
Best stat…
Three: Chelsea have only won three of their last 11 home games against Liverpool in the Premier League. Liverpool have won five.
Player to watch…
Eden Hazard: The Belgium captain is thriving under Sarri at the moment, and is the joint top scorer in the Premier League currently with five goals from six matches. The 27-year-old will be itching to attack Liverpool’s defence, after his wonderful solo goal in the last few minutes won the Carabao Cup tie on Wednesday. He’ll need to beat a different goalkeeper this time though, with Allison likely to come back into the starting XI after Simon Mignolet started in midweek.
