Chelsea vs Liverpool: Live stream, TV channel, kick-off time, team news and prediction

Chelsea will be looking to get back to winning ways against Liverpool following their loss to Aston Villa on Saturday.

They were beaten 2-0 at home by Aston Villa, leaving them in 11th place in the Premier League, and with their Champions League qualification hopes in tatters.

Goals from from Ollie Watkins and John McGinn meant the Blues endured a miserable return to club football following a run of four unbeaten games before the international break.

It proved to be Potter’s final game in charge after Chelsea opted to axe the 47-year-old and put Bruno Saltor in charge on an interim basis while a permanent successor is found.

The west London side will play host to fellow Premier League strugglers Liverpool at Stamford Bridge, with Jurgen Klopp’s Reds suffering three defeats in a row to Real Madrid, Bournemouth and Manchester City.

“They are going through a tough season, but they have top players,” said Saltor on Klopp and Liverpool. “We need to be ready.”

Liverpool currently sit in eighth place in the league, with Chelsea lumbering in 11th. Both sides remain seven and 11 points adrift of Champions League qualification respectively.
