Hello and welcome to Anfield for live updates as Chelsea look to put a dire run of form behind them against Liverpool this afternoon.
It is the first fixture of the Premier League weekend, with only three rounds of matches left before the season reaches its conclusion later in the month. Chelsea are looking to end a six-match losing run in the top-flight with a positive result on Merseyside.
The Blues still have European hopes, although they will be relying on Aston Villa to win the Europa League and finish in fifth-place in order to qualify for the Champions League. Chelsea will aim to end this turbulent season strongly regardless of what Villa do and a win at Anfield could build some desperately-needed momentum.
As for Liverpool, three points this afternoon would all but secure their status among Europe's elite next season. Kick-off in Liverpool is at 12:30pm (UK time) this afternoon. Bobby Vincent is live on Merseyside throughout the day to bring you everything you need!
