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:

SAVE! Thiago's attempted clearance hits Cucurella, and it ends up being a good pass into Nunez. He gets ahead of Chalobah and tries his luck from a tight angle on the left of the box, but it's held by Kepa.

Chelsea play themselves out of trouble inside their own box, and they work it upfield well. It goes from Havertz, through Mudryk, Gallagher and Mount, who squares it to Ziyech, but his low, drilled shot is blocked by Gomez.

Liverpool's second change sees Alexander-Arnold coming on in place of Milner.

Again, Ziyech finds space down the right and curls a wonderful cross into the far post. This time, Mudryk does manage to bring it down, but he runs out of pitch when he takes it past Alisson.

Ziyech is still getting a lot of joy down the right and he cuts inside to lose Robertson again before whipping another dangerous cross to the far post. Mudryk throws himself forward, but can't make contact on the stretch.
