The Premier League features a high-profile fixture today as Liverpool lock horns with Chelsea at Anfield.
The two English giants are yet to drop points in the Premier League and will be intent on maintaining their perfect record this weekend.
Liverpool were not at their best last season and struggled to cope with a spate of injuries over the course of their Premier League campaign. The Merseyside outfit eased past Burnley last weekend and will relish facing a more formidable opponent on Saturday.
Chelsea, on the other hand, have shown tremendous improvement under Thomas Tuchel and are potential title contenders this season. The reigning European champions eased past arch-rivals Arsenal in their previous game and will want a similar result against Liverpool.
