Liverpool face big test against Chelsea

Unbeaten Chelsea and Liverpool face off tomorrow at Stamford Bridge in what is the biggest clash of the Premier League season so far.

Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool have won all six league games in while Chelsea’s winning streak was ended by a goalless draw at West Ham United on Sunday.

But Chelsea have the psychological boost of a midweek victory over Liverpool in the League Cup, albeit in a game in which both sides made eight changes.

Klopp knows Chelsea winger Eden Hazard, who scored a brilliant solo winner after coming on as a second-half substitute, represents the biggest threat to his team’s perfect start.

The Belgian has been one of the few players who enjoyed a successful World Cup to make an impressive start to the season and he believes the League Cup win will boost the Blues.

“This result will give us more confidence because we drew with West Ham a few days ago,” Hazard said. “But the game on Saturday is more important. We have got to try and beat Liverpool.”

Chelsea assistant manager Gianfranco Zola said: “It’s a fantastic goal. Not only the beauty of it but for the time he scored it.

“Not only is he one of the best in the Premier League — if not the best — but he is one of the best in Europe and the world.

“In my opinion we haven’t seen the best of him yet. He’s remarkable,” he added.
