Liverpool, Recent FormJürgen Klopp will have some work to do building up his players after their 3-0 away thrashing at the hands of Brighton & Hove Albion. During that encounter they had 38% possession and had 6 attempts on goal with 2 on target, while their opponents hit 9 of their 16 shots on goal.
Klopp will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 11 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 10 goals conceded in the same period. It's now been 32 games since they failed to score at home. Klopp will have some concerns about his team's back line after only making 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home matches.
They have had a good run of form recently, winning 4 out of their last 6 games.
On an individual basis, Mohamed Salah will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Liverpool's last 6 league games.
Chelsea, Recent FormChelsea will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 1-0 home win against Crystal Palace. In that game they had 63% possession and managed 15 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Crystal Palace who had 10 attempts and 5 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 5 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 5 and seen valuable points lost. On their travels, they have made a habit of scoring goals, having found the net in 4 of their last 6 outings away from home.
This will be regarded as a poor run of form, with 3 defeats from their last 6 matches and just 2 victories.
Raheem Sterling has scored 2 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Liverpool.
In the previous encounter between these sides, both teams grabbed goals, with the match finishing in a 2-2 draw.
The last 3 matches between Liverpool and The Blues show that Liverpool have let in at least one goal on each occasion.
This match has run out a draw on the previous 2 encounters between these sides in the league; however, Chelsea may have a slight edge with them currently enjoying a 3 match unbeaten streak against their opponents.
Mohamed Salah has scored in each of Liverpool's last 2 league games against Chelsea.
Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Luis Díaz (Knee), Roberto Firmino (Muscle), Diogo Jota (Calf), Arthur Melo (Thigh), Darwin Núñez (Knock) and Virgil van Dijk (Hamstring) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Graham Potter has a number of injury concerns in his Chelsea squad to contend with: Armando Broja (Knee), Ben Chilwell (Hamstring), Wesley Fofana (Knee), Reece James (Knee), N'Golo Kanté (Hamstring), Édouard Mendy (Broken finger), Christian Pulisic (Knee), Raheem Sterling (Hamstring) and Denis Zakaria (Muscle)
