Liverpool suffered a defeat to Manchester City with a 4-1 scoreline, causing them to drop to the 8th position in the league table with a total of 42 points. They are now trailing 7 points behind Spurs, who occupy the 4th spot, even though Liverpool has an additional game to play.

Chelsea form (in all competitions): L-D-W-W-W
Liverpool form (in all competitions): L-L-L-W-W
Player to watch
Chelsea: Joao Felix
Felix was able to score against Everton in the game just before the international break. Despite Chelsea's loss to Villa in their last match, Felix was the standout player who created difficulties for the Villa defenders but was unable to find the back of the net. He will undoubtedly aim to deliver a favorable outcome against Liverpool in the upcoming match and strive to get on the scoresheet.
Liverpool: Mohamed Salah
With 12 goals and 7 assists in 27 Premier League games this season, the Egyptian player has been Liverpool’s key player this season. Although he scored in their previous game against Manchester City, which ended in a 4-1 loss, for Liverpool to secure a positive result against Chelsea, Salah must showcase his top form.
Match Facts
- Liverpool have lost eight Premier League away games this season – it's their most in a single season since 2014-15 (also 8) and as many as they'd lost on the road in their three previous campaigns combined.
