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:

Salah accidentally caught Cucurella on his knee when he attempted a backheel flick, and the Spaniard goes down in need of treatment, but he's able to carry on.

Chelsea are still pressing high upfield and making it difficult for Liverpool to pass their way forward. Konate carries it a long way before switching it out to Elliott, but his cross is blocked.

Liverpool just can't clear their lines after Chelsea's corner and Elliott ends up slicing a clearance back towards his own box. Konate nods it down to Jorginho but makes up for it by nicking it off Gallagher.

CHANCE! Mount slipped when Havertz first squared it to him, but Chelsea quickly win it back. This time, the Englishman brings the ball under control before laying it off to Hall, but his low shot rolls across the face of goal.
