Your support makes all the difference.The match of the weekend comes from Anfield, as Liverpool face the toughest test in their title run-in as Chelsea travel to Merseyside in a game comparable to their title clash five years ago.
That day, Steven Gerrard’s infamous slip led to a 2-0 Chelsea win which ended Liverpool’s 11-game win streak, and they couldn’t recover in the 2014 race.
In 2019 though, there is renewed optimism; the Reds beat Porto in the Champions League on Tuesday, and are on a six-game win streak in all competitions since dropping points at Goodison Park at the beginning of March.
Chelsea grinded out a 1-0 win at Slavia Prague in their Europa League quarter-final on Thursday; they lie in third before the weekend’s action as their battle for Champions League qualification continues.
In September’s reverse fixture, a late Daniel Sturridge wonder goal cancelled out Eden Hazard’s opener, salvaging a point for Liverpool at Stamford Bridge.
