Chelsea will be looking to top the Premier League table with a win over Liverpool at Stamford Bridge. Barring a disappointing defeat against Burnley, Klopp’s side have looked like a well-oiled machine who may be serious contenders for the league title this season.

“It was very intense, very lively and very flexible”, Klopp said.
The home fans were treated to a second Chelsea debut for David Luiz, who was the only change to the team that drew 2-2 with Swansea after John Terry suffered ankle ligament damage.
The Merseysiders were two goals to the good at the half-time break, with Dejan Lovren breaking the deadlock on 17 minutes before Jordan Henderson found the top-right corner with a superb strike from all of 30 yards out.
And Law told the Sunday Supplement that he believes Conte should be fearless and start Fabregas in that central two for Chelsea, but the Italian clearly has concerns over the player’s defensive capabilities.
Branislav Ivanovic gave a needless foul away on the left flank, from which Liverpool worked the ball to Philippe Coutinho. “That’s all the truth, but in the end we have to prove it every week – or in this week, every three days because on Tuesday we have the EFL Cup [English Football League Cup] against Derby, which will be a nice game too”.
“When you want to think like a great team you must pay attention in every moment”. It became 2-0 with a cracking goal from Henderson.
“We know we can play good football, we’re convinced about our quality”. I don’t want to repeat last season. “From long distance it was a great goal, but when you give away two goals in that way it’s very hard”. This season the manager, the players, all the people at the club must take responsibility. We are together, and we want to go this way together.
Costa had been feeding on scraps for an hour until he tucked in his fifth goal of the season from Nemanja Matic’s pull-back.
‘I sincerely hope i can play 100 more starting from tomorrow’.
“That’s how it is.it’s deserved, all these points, spectacular football against Arsenal, really good organised against Tottenham and (against Chelsea) was a kind of mixture of these two games”. However, their last loss came in this exact fixture last season.

“You have wound me up again”, the former England defender said, per the Mirror.
