Stats recap

Chelsea have won one of our past 12 Premier League meetings with Liverpool (five draws, six defeats), beating them 1-0 at the Bridge in May 2018 thanks to a first-half Olivier Giroud strike.

Liverpool are seeking a fifth consecutive Premier League win against Chelsea.

Jose Mourinho was in charge the last time we came away from Anfield with three points. Cesar Azpilicueta was in a side that won 2-1 in November 2014 with goals from Gary Cahill and Diego Costa, after Emre Can opened the scoring early on. Since then we have drawn three, all 1-1, and lost the last two.

This will be our 90th game at Anfield and will equal, with Goodison Park, the most games played at an away ground in our history.

The Analysis: Antonio Rudiger going from strength to strength

Chelsea are hoping to extend our unbeaten run in all competitions to 11 games since our defeat at Leicester on 19 January.

In all competitions, the Blues have won four of our five away games under Thomas Tuchel, drawing the other.

Only Manchester City have conceded fewer Premier League goals this season than Chelsea.

Twenty-nine per cent of our Premier League goals this season have been scored in the last 15 minutes (12/41).
