Chelsea vs Liverpool LIVE: Kick-off time, how to watch, team news, live stream

Good afternoon and welcome to football.london for live coverage of Chelsea's crucial Premier League fixture against Liverpool this evening.

The Blues take on the Reds in the final game before the upcoming international break. Both sides come into this game a little out of sorts, with Chelsea only winning twice since the most recent break - and both of them were outside of the Premier League.

Liverpool, meanwhile, have been beaten in their last two matches against Crystal Palace and Galatasaray in the Premier League and Champions League, respectively. Questions are beginning to be asked about Arne Slot's men, who will be desperate to get rid of them with three points at Stamford Bridge this evening.

Enzo Maresca is in a similar boat. While he accepted in yesterday's press conference that Liverpool remain "the best team in the country", the Chelsea head coach also claimed the Reds have multiple vulnerabilities.

Kick-off at Stamford Bridge is scheduled for 5:30pm - UK time - and you can follow along with live coverage throughout the afternoon and evening with Bobby Vincent in west London.
