There was a time in the late 2000s that Chelsea and Liverpool played each other eight times across two seasons. The Blues could take things one step further this year though after being drawn with Manchester City in the FA Cup third round.
Having already faced off against each other in the Carabao Cup in the final week before the domestic break - a game in which Graham Potter's side lost 2-0 - Chelsea could face the league champions three times in January alone.
Potter's hopes of securing a serious cup run have been dealt a great blow. City are the domestic cup kings - despite not winning the FA Cup since 2019. They have won the League Cup six times in the last eight years.
