Preview of Chelsea vs Liverpool live

The focus of round 7 is on two long-time rivals facing each other for the first time this season at Stamford Bridge. Exactly one year ago here, Chelsea suffered a painful defeat to Liverpool and were eliminated from the Carabao Cup. This round, Enzo Maresca’s team will welcome the "Red Brigade" with the intention of revenge and to regain points to return to the top group in the standings.

Entering round 7, Chelsea has collected 8 points from 6 matches, currently sitting in 8th place in the table. In the Premier League, "The Blues" have gone 3 games without a win, showing a rare inconsistent form for the West London club. If this weak performance continues, Chelsea may miss the chance to challenge for the Premier League title this year. Hosting Liverpool at home, coach Enzo Maresca’s squad will miss key players such as Cole Palmer and Liam Delap due to injury, and Trevoh Chalobah is suspended.
