Chelsea are looking to extend our unbeaten Premier League run against Liverpool to four games (one win, two draws).

The Blues last won at Anfield in March 2021 when Mason Mount scored the only goal.

In last season's corresponding fixture, we managed a 1-1 draw despite having Reece James sent off in first-half stoppage time.

We played Jurgen Klopp's side four times in 2021/22 and drew them all in either 90 or 120 minutes, with Liverpool winning both cup finals after a penalty shoot-out.

This will be our 92nd game at Anfield and together with Goodison Park, it more than we have played at an away ground in our history.

Since 2012, Chelsea have played 12 times at Anfield in all competitions. We have won four, drawn six and lost two.
