Chelsea begin life under the interim leadership of Bruno Saltor on Tuesday night as they face the visit of Liverpool to Stamford Bridge with both sides under pressure.
The Blues have slipped to 11th in the Premier League table, with just three league wins in 2023 and are without a win in their past two matches after losing to Aston Villa 2-0 upon returning from the international break. This led to the departure of Graham Potter, with the Englishman's reign ending after just seven months at the helm.
On Tuesday, they take on a Liverpool side who have also struggled to recapture their best form this season. A 4-1 thrashing from Manchester City at the weekend has left them in eighth position and a win for Chelsea on Tuesday could cut the gap to just a single point, with the Reds retaining a game in hand.

What has been said?
"First of all it is a sad day. A sad day for staff because Graham and Billy leaving, two top coaches, top people, top human beings. How I see it is, I have to be the most professional I can. Try to help the players, guide the players to prepare the game the best we can.
"Seeing it as an opportunity for the players. We are representing Chelsea. A club with an amazing history, it is about winning, it is about dominating and what we need to do is prepare for the game.
"Preparation helps a lot for performance and that is what the players need to focus on."
"We need a reaction badly. It was a super strange game (v City). Second half was not acceptable but it happened anyway."
"Short turnaround means I have no clue who I can line up. We give the boys as much time as possible to recover but there will be changes, definitely."
