Current form: Liverpool vs Chelsea
Liverpool have won their last four games in the league and their last five across all competitions. The Reds have one foot into the semi-finals of the Champions League after beating Porto 2-0 but will be quite nervous ahead of their meeting against Chelsea. Why? Because back in 2014, the Blues ended a 11-game winning streak and ruined Liverpool's chances at winning the league title. That infamous slip by Steven Gerrard still stings in the heart of Reds supporters, and they certainly will be looking for revenge when Maurizio Sarri's side come to town on Sunday afternoon.
Chelsea, meanwhile, secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Eastern European outfit Slavia Praha in the Europa League to set themselves up nicely for the home leg next week. Sarri could rotate his squad here and give Eden Hazard a rest as he clearly wants to try to win that trophy to make amends and try to appease frustrated Chelsea fans. Overall, the Blues are on a three game winning streak in the league and find themselves in fourth spot - and could jump into third spot with a win over Liverpool, but they are taking on a side who have a very impressive record at Anfield, with zero losses in their last 37 Premier League games at this ground.

Team news: Liverpool vs Chelsea
Liverpool: The hosts have pretty much a full-strength squad. Adam Lallana is expected to return to the fold after missing out on the past couple of games due to a hamstring injury, whilst Andrew Robertson should be re-instated to the starting XI afer missing out on Liverpool's tie with Porto due to suspension. Naby Keita has impressed as of late after scoring in consecutive matches and is now pushing for a start after struggling to make an impact earlier on for his new side.
Chelsea: Only Ethan Ampadu remains a doubt for the visitors. Sarri rotated heavily for his match against Slavia and could return to his preferred starting XI here.
