Chelsea vs Liverpool Live Score Premier League 2016 Live Streaming LIV v CHE Match Preview Prediction 16th September: It is the first game of the fifth match day, and we have Chelsea hosting Liverpool in the EPL. It is hard to tell your player to be patient because I think he knows he is close to a ban.
