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
Cucurella misjudges the bounce of Elliott's throughball and Salah is behind him to bring it under control. The Spaniard recovers quickly to nick it back off him though, and acrobatically clears his lines.
Liverpool vs Chelsea
CLOSE! The Liverpool players seem to get in each others' way as Bajcetic fails to clear his lines and it's worked to Mudryk on the left. He plays a one-two with Gallagher, jinks past Gomez and takes a shot, but he sends it into the side netting.
Liverpool vs Chelsea
Liverpool are asking for a penalty for a handball against Silva. The defender was off-balance as he made a block and fell backwards, putting his arms out to catch him. It did touch the ball, but the referee only gives a corner.
Liverpool vs Chelsea
CHANCE! It's switched out to Ziyech on the right, and he cuts inside, taking it past four Liverpool players as he drags it to the left of the box to open up space for a shot. It's a poor effort though as he blazes it over.
