Moises Caicedo confident that Chelsea will bounce back from this season's struggles
The Premier League weekend kicks off with a huge clash at Anfield as Liverpool look to all but confirm a top-five finish, and Champions League qualification, while ending Chelsea’s hopes of a return to European football’s elite. Both teams lost their last game - against Manchester United and Nottingham Forest, respectively - and need a quick return to form.
Liverpool will be looking over their shoulders at Aston Villa and, further down, Brighton, Bournemouth and Brentford. A win today should see off the latter trio, and the return to fitness of Alexander Isak, who has shaken off a minor injury, will be key. Arne Slot will also hope to pick Giorgi Mamardashvili back between the sticks a week earlier than planned.
For Chelsea, they will also be playing their second-choice goalkeeper after Robert Sanchez was forced off against Forest, while Pedro Neto and Alejandro Garnacho will also be missing. All eyes on Joao Pedro and Cole Palmer to produce the goods. Follow the game LIVE below with our dedicated match blog, featuring expert insight and analysis from Dom Smith.

Liverpool vs Chelsea LIVE
Hello and welcome to the London Standard’s LIVE coverage of the Premier League clash between Liverpool and Chelsea.
It’s a game which could see Liverpool secure qualification to the Champions League... while ending the Blues’ extremely faint hopes of making it themselves.
A run of six straight defeat has prematurely ended Chelsea league ambitions, but momentum is needed ahead of next week’s FA Cup final against Man City.
Can they turn to tide today? Kick-off is at 12.30pm.
