Liverpool vs Chelsea LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Anfield
Follow live coverage as Liverpool face Chelsea in the Premier League today.
Manchester City are reigning champions after beating Liverpool to the finish line in a neck-and-neck 2021/22 title race where a comeback win on the final day of the season against Aston Villa secured a fourth title in five years for Pep Guardiola's side.
Jurgen Klopp's Reds were on course for a quadruple last season but were forced to settle for just an FA Cup and Carabao Cup win and will return trying to win the title again just as they did in 2020.
It was a dramatic season for Chelsea a year ago with Roman Abramovich now replaced by Todd Boehly as owner in west London. He will want an instant return on his hefty investment at Stamford Bridge while Tottenham, back in the Champions League, will want to kick on once more too.
It's not all about the action at the top though with Fulham, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest promoted to the top tier for 2021/22 and hoping to hold their own against the best English football has to offer and avoid the drop.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:
Liverpool vs Chelsea
The points are shared, with both teams now moving onto 29 points. Chelsea stay in 10th, while Liverpool climb above Brentford due to their goal difference, ahead of the Bees' game against Leeds United tomorrow. Liverpool are in FA Cup action against Brighton and Hove Albion next weekend, while Chelsea aren't due to play again until early February when they host Fulham.
Liverpool vs Chelsea
It finishes goalless between Liverpool and Chelsea. Havertz thought he'd given Chelsea the perfect start when he found the back of the net after just three minutes, but it was disallowed as he was just in front of the ball when Silva hit his shot that struck the post. Badiashile also forced a good save out of Alisson before Liverpool upped the pressure after the break. Gakpo and Nunez both had tame shots saved, and the Blues' new signing Mudryk could only find the side netting.
