Chelsea and Liverpool collide in a thrilling Premier League clash under the lights at Stamford Bridge this evening.

A title race this season was close to be written off just a few weeks ago but two defeats on the bounce for Arne Slot’s side in the Premier League and Champions League have exposed some vulnerabilities in the champions.

Liverpool are also reeling from the loss of Alisson Becker who is set for another spell on the sidelines after a hamstring injury midweek.

Chelsea aren’t in great nick either, mind. Enzo Maresca is without eight first-team players this evening including the suspended Trevoh Chalobah and injured Cole Palmer.

The Blues have not won a league game since 30 August, form that as dismissed talk of a title challenge in west London this season. Victory tonight could change that.
