Liverpool vs Chelsea LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Anfield
Follow live coverage as Liverpool face Chelsea in the Premier League today.
Manchester City are reigning champions after beating Liverpool to the finish line in a neck-and-neck 2021/22 title race where a comeback win on the final day of the season against Aston Villa secured a fourth title in five years for Pep Guardiola's side.
Jurgen Klopp's Reds were on course for a quadruple last season but were forced to settle for just an FA Cup and Carabao Cup win and will return trying to win the title again just as they did in 2020.
It was a dramatic season for Chelsea a year ago with Roman Abramovich now replaced by Todd Boehly as owner in west London. He will want an instant return on his hefty investment at Stamford Bridge while Tottenham, back in the Champions League, will want to kick on once more too.
It's not all about the action at the top though with Fulham, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest promoted to the top tier for 2021/22 and hoping to hold their own against the best English football has to offer and avoid the drop.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:
Liverpool vs Chelsea
Chelsea have another opportunity to break, but they overplay it. Instead of driving into the box, Gallagher looks to square it to Mudryk, but he has three Liverpool players around him, and the hosts come away with it.

BLOCK! Cucurella plays it forward and Chukwuemeka takes it around Henderson to get into the box. He gets his head up and sees he's through on goal, but Robertson gets across and makes a vital last-second block.
Liverpool vs Chelsea
Liverpool neatly pass themselves out of a tight spot on the right and Jones is through down the middle. He topples over under pressure from Azpilicueta, but doesn't get the free-kick he's looking for.

Henderson has so much space ahead of him down the right and he floats a good cross towards Salah at the far post. Badiashile gets there just ahead of him to glance it on, and Chelsea look to break.
Liverpool vs Chelsea
Mudryk plays a one-two with Chukwuemeka and slides it back to the youngster instead of advancing into the box himself. It catches the midfielder out, and he trips over the ball without being able to make anything happen.

GOOD CHANCE! It's good work from Nunez as he gets away down the left and lifts a cross into the far post. Silva flicks it away and Alexander-Arnold has space on the right of the box. He puts his laces through it, but it sails just over the bar.
