Liverpool host Chelsea on Thursday night, with both teams trying to push themselves into the top four in the Premier League table.

Jurgen Klopp’s side returned to winning ways last time out when they beat Sheffield United 2-0, but they remain in sixth place in the table, one point and place behind Chelsea.

Thomas Tuchel’s outfit have yet to lose in any competition since he took over as head coach, though goals have been hard to come by - 10 scored in his nine games.

That difficulty in turning possession into scoring chances was exemplified in the weekend’s 0-0 draw with Manchester United, which leaves the Stamford Bridge side a point behind West Ham.
