Jurgen Klopp’s reds have improved in recent weeks and find themselves in 5th place in the table – a single point outside the Champions League places. The reds have won their last 4 matches in all competitions since a hefty defeat to Tottenham last month and they are playing some very attractive football. Mohamed Salah has set the Premier League alight since his summer move and tops the Premier League scoring charts with 9 goals in 12 games.
Chelsea
The Blues have found form in recent weeks and find themselves in 3rd place in the Premier League table – 9 points behind leaders Manchester City. The Blues have won their last 4 Premier League matches and look to be piecing a charge together towards regaining their Premier League title. Alvaro Morata has scored in his last 2 Premier League matches and has already notched 7 Premier League goals for his new club.
Head to Head
Liverpool hold a significant advantage in the head to head records between the two sides – leading by 77 wins to 61 with another 39 draws being played out between the two teams.
