Premier League: Battles on display when Liverpool welcome Chelsea to Anfield
Jurgen Klopp vs Thomas Tuchel; the pair of Germans have imposed their style of football on the English game like it’s nobody’s business.
Last year when the pair met, Klopp had a second-strength backline and suffered defeat to Tuchel in a 0-1 ball game at the same venue – Anfield will not be as welcoming later today – the roaring crowd is back!
Jurgen Klopp’s numbers in the EPL

Thomas Tuchel had a hand in the Reds poorest run under Klopp and in the club’s history; his Chelsea side were the fifth team to beat them at home in a six-game losing streak on home soil. But now things are a lot different and no season is like the last.
