Jurgen Klopp’s side have lost both of their Premier League games so far in 2023, at Brentford and Brighton, with a timely return to Merseyside for this clash. An FA Cup third-round victory at Wolves provided a glimmer of hope that a turnaround is possible.
Klopp has rejected suggestions that he could walk away from the club, but the Reds face a Chelsea side buoyed by their first win of 2023, after edging past Crystal Palace last weekend.

Liverpool vs Chelsea odds
Liverpool’s struggles have increased the pressure on Klopp and underlined the need for reinforcements at Anfield this month but they have lost just once at home in Premier League action this season.
Chelsea’s win over Palace has in turn eased some of the tension surrounding Potter’s position at Stamford Bridge but this tie will be a major test of their progress in 2023.
Liverpool vs Chelsea history
The two sides are relatively balanced in their head-to-head Premier League record, with 23 Liverpool wins compared to 21 for Chelsea, and 16 draws in their 60 Premier League meetings since 1992.
However, the rivalry did not really catch fire until the mid-2000’s, on the back of their epic Champions League clashes, with an incredible five successive European battles from 2005 to 2009.
Rafa Bentiez’s Reds emerged with the crucial edge, thanks to Luis Garcia’s infamous ‘ghost goal’ in the 2005 semifinal, followed by a penalty shootout win over the Blues in 2007.
That advantage was to turn in the later years, as Chelsea knocked Liverpool out in the 2008 and 2009 Champions League, and delivered the memorable Premier League title blow to Liverpool in 2014, after Steven Gerrard’s Anfield slip.
