Premier League: Battles on display when Liverpool welcome Chelsea to Anfield
The first top-of-the-table clash and we have Chelsea travelling to Anfield to take on Liverpool – a proper third vs. second, and it’s only Matchday 3 of the English Premier League.
Heading into the game both English giants have been enjoying exceptional, 100% starts to their respective campaigns; both won their opening two fixtures, both have kept two clean sheets each, and have scored five goals apiece – only the alphabet separates these two.
Last season, after the turn of the year from 2019 to 2020, this one was almost straightforward to predict – that because of the change in power over at Stamford Bridge in the appointment of Thomas Tuchel and the downgrade in form the Reds were expressing strangely over a long period.
🗣"I believe they are one of the favourites for winning the title, we know how strong they are but we are focused on our jobs."

Now we have some of the best in the world all on one pitch together at the same time and because of the summer deals completed and the return of mammoth figures in each team, we are in for one of the best duels for the 29th Premier League edition.
Without any further ado, let’s take a look at what battles will be happening all over the pitch when Liverpool entertain Chelsa for a shot to go top of the table and to continue on their flawless run.
