Liverpool faces its first major test under Arne Slot as the Reds look to end Chelsea's seven-game unbeaten streak.
Liverpool has gotten off to a near-perfect start since bidding farewell to Jürgen Klopp. Slot led the side to nine victories in his first ten matches in charge, putting the Reds atop the Premier League and Champions League standings. Liverpool has yet to face a side of Chelsea's caliber, though, across all competitions.
The Blues come into Anfield on the back off a frustrating 1–1 draw against Nottingham Forest, dropping points for just the third time under Enzo Maresca. Despite the result, Chelsea still sits fourth in the Premier League standings thanks to impressive performances from Cole Palmer and new arrival, Jadon Sancho.
The two sides have a history of close matches; five of the last six Premier League meetings between Chelsea and Liverpool ended in a draw. Yet Liverpool has found the slight edge over Chelsea across all competitions in recent years. Klopp's tenure at the club ended with silverware after his side defeated Chelsea in the 2024 EFL Cup final.
The Blues will have to be at their best if they want to take three points from Liverpool for the first time since 2021.
