Chelsea vs Liverpool

Wesley Fofana and N'Golo Kante return to the starting XI as interim head coach Bruno Saltor makes two changes in his first Chelsea line-up, ...

[Mateo Kovacic](/en/teams/profile/mateo-kovacic) and [Enzo Fernandez](/en/teams/profile/enzo-fernandez) line up in midfield again, but are joined by the returning Kante, who captains the side after coming off the bench against Villa for his first appearance since August. [Reece James](/en/teams/profile/reece-james) is likely to push forward into a wing-back role, with [Ben Chilwell](/en/teams/profile/ben-chilwell) on the opposite flank. [Kepa Arrizabalaga](/en/teams/profile/kepa-arrizabalaga) continues in goal, but there is a change to the defence in front of him.

Two sides in transition meet at Stamford Bridge, as the manager-less Blues host Jürgen Klopp's Reds.

PT in the US and 5 a.m. Chelsea also look set to field a rotated side, with Saltor likely to have one eye on next week's crucial Champions League quarter-final clash with Real Madrid. The hosts' dire 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa on Saturday brought about the end of Graham Potter's turbulent six-month reign.

Managerless Chelsea played out a goalless first half against a much-changed Liverpool at Stamford Bridge. Reece James had a goal disallowed for offside.

2 hours from kickoff: Hello and welcome to The Sporting News' live coverage of Chelsea vs Liverpool at Stamford Bridge. Liverpool were thrashed 4-1 at Manchester City on Saturday and are languishing eighth in the table, with time running out to salvage their top-four hopes. A reminder that this is one of the biggest games in English football's modern era most of the time. 5th minute: Chelsea get in again down the Liverpool left. 42nd minute: A rare chance for Liverpool to test the Chelsea defence. Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson were among the players hauled off in a quadruple substitution with 20 minutes to go, while Trent Alexander-Arnold endured his latest torrid outing of a season that has turned into something of an ordeal. 12th minute: Koulibaly lofts a lovely, raking pass over the top of the Liverpool defence. A combination of Havertz and Kante get the ball through to Kovacic, but he lifts a shot wastefully over. 84th minute: Murdyk is on and has added some impetus to the Chelsea attack down the left. The Liverpool goalkeeper is under pressure from Havertz, who gets the ball but can't control it and another chance passes him by. 44th minute: Kante, Havertz and James combine in slick fashion on the right. Fulltime: It finishes Chelsea 0 Liverpool 0 - the fourth time in succession these two have turned in a goalless draw.

The post-Graham Potter era begins on Tuesday for Chelsea, when they welcome Liverpool to the Stamford Bridge in a clash of two underachievers.

Unlike Liverpool, Chelsea have the pleasant distraction of the Champions League, which may turn sour if serial Champions League winners Real Madrid put them to the sword next mid-week in Madrid. There's midweek Premier League action this week and Tuesday serves up an interesting game between the two faltering behemoths, Chelsea and Liverpool. Both sides suffered morale-damaging beatings over the weekend and will be desperate to produce a reaction in what will be a mid-table clash.

Chelsea and Liverpool were both left frustrated after a goalless draw at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday in the home side's first game since the dismissal of ...

It’s true that Havertz is not a natural No 9, but then what is he? May 13: Leicester (A) - Premier League, kick-off 3pm "They score a lot of goals in training. "I focus day by day and the owners know the staff will be as professional as we can. I know they missed chances but what they could affect the most was the attitude and the effort, which was there. They have got a 0-0 out of it - you are scratching your head how. "They are human beings and the confidence has to be there. But he is not going to change completely. “The same idea is there but they cannot do it. A little step in the right direction." "I saw two of them last year between Liverpool and Chelsea in the two finals - it was absolutely insane. If not, Arsenal will just go over us."

Chelsea may have had to settle for a draw with Liverpool in the Premier League, but the statistical analysis shows promising signs from a subtle change to ...

In fact, three of Liverpool’s four yellow cards – for Fabinho, Konstantinos Tsimikas and Joel Matip – were issued for fouls on Joao Felix. Enzo’s 14 long passes was again comfortably the highest number of any outfield player, ahead of Koulibaly and Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson with nine each, and our No5 had a decent success rate, finding a team-mate with nine of his attempts. With the two Blues veterans pushing forward and pressuring Liverpool in possession, that denied Jurgen Klopp’s team a route out of defence through the middle of the pitch, while giving our January signing room to dictate the game. That solid base provided by Enzo sitting deep also allowed Kovacic and Kante to roam further, hunting the ball and joining attacks. Joao’s five successful dribbles was also the joint highest, along with James. [Enzo Fernandez](/en/teams/profile/enzo-fernandez) in the build-up to [Reece James](/en/teams/profile/reece-james)’ sweet strike and then a handball when [Kai Havertz](/en/teams/profile/kai-havertz) bundled in his own rebound.
