Going into matchday eight of the Premier League, Liverpool who sit atop the standings host a Chelsea team who’s away form has been stellar, having won all three of their road games this season as Enzo Maresca’s side look to make it four out of four away wins against The Red’s on Sunday.

A win for Liverpool in matchday eight against Chelsea at home would mark only the fifth time Liverpool have won seven of their first eight Premier League games as Arne Slot’s Red’s have won six straight matches across all competitions, placing them in a strong position to face an in-form Chelsea at Anfield.

Sunday’s encounter will mark the 65th meeting between the two sides, with Liverpool winning one out of five recent matches against Chelsea.
