Liverpool vs Chelsea is set to be a thrilling encounter, with both teams looking to secure a crucial victory. The match is scheduled to take place on Sunday, October 20, at 4:30pm, and will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Main Event.

In a previous meeting between the two sides, Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool emerged victorious with a 4-1 win over Mauricio Pochettino’s Chelsea. However, this time around, the match is expected to be much more competitive when Arne Slot’s Reds host Enzo Maresca’s Blues.

Despite Liverpool’s dominant performance in their last encounter, where they registered 28 shots compared to Chelsea’s four, the recent history between these teams indicates a tendency towards draws. Eight of their last nine meetings have ended in 90-minute stalemates.

Arne Slot has made a strong start to his managerial career in England, winning nine out of his first ten games across all competitions. However, a 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest remains the only blemish on his record. Liverpool, on the other hand, have had to fight hard for their recent victories, narrowly defeating Wolves and Crystal Palace in the league.

In terms of team news, Maresca will have to cope with defensive absences as Wesley Fofana and Marc Cucurella are both suspended after accumulating five yellow cards in just seven league games. Despite this setback, Chelsea have performed well in their away fixtures, winning their first three games by an impressive aggregate score of 10-2.

Overall, Liverpool vs Chelsea promises to be an exciting clash with both teams eager to secure a crucial win. Make sure to tune in to witness all the action live on Sky Sports.
