Premier League football returns with a blockbuster clash as Liverpool host Chelsea at Anfield on Sunday. The Reds sit atop the standings following a narrow 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace before the international break, while the Blues were held to a 1-1 draw against Nottingham Forest, maintaining their fourth position in the table.
Chelsea head into the fixture boasting the league's second-best attacking record, netting 16 goals—just one shy of leaders Manchester City’s tally. September proved fruitful for the Blues, as manager Enzo Maresca and forward Cole Palmer secured the Manager and Player of the Month awards, respectively.
According to BBC Sport, a win at Anfield would mark a significant achievement for Chelsea, potentially becoming the first time since the 2008-09 season that they win their opening four away games in the league.
However, Chelsea face a daunting challenge, having failed to defeat Liverpool in their last nine encounters. The Reds have not suffered a loss to the Blues since March 2021, adding to the intrigue of this high-stakes showdown.
