Liverpool head to Chelsea looking to put their thrashing by Manchester City behind them and get their top four bid back on track.
Since Jurgen Klopp’s men destroyed Manchester United 7-0 at Anfield last month, the Reds have lost three straight games, ending this season’s Champions League bid and putting their hopes of being in next term’s competition in serious jeopardy.
Saturday’s dire defeat at the Etihad means Liverpool arrive at Stamford Bridge in eighth place on the Premier League table. With 11 games remaining this term, they’re eight points adrift of fourth spot. Quite simply it’s not where Klopp or his side expect to be.
