Liverpool and Chelsea faced off in a highly anticipated Premier League match. The Reds, currently leading the table, were looking to extend their lead, while Chelsea aimed to close the gap.
The atmosphere at Anfield was charged following Jurgen Klopp's announcement that he will be leaving Liverpool at the end of the season. This added an emotional element to the match, as fans showed their support for the departing manager.
Klopp has a dominant record over Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino, having lost just one of their 12 meetings. This gave Liverpool an added advantage going into the game.
Liverpool and Chelsea are set to meet again in the Carabao Cup final next month. This match served as a preview of what's to come, with both teams under pressure to perform.
Liverpool XI: Alisson, Gomez, Van Dijk, Konate, Diaz, Szoboszlai, Nunez, Mac Allister, Jones, Jota, Bradley.
