Chelsea look good... their defence will come together eventually but Hazard-Willian-Costa very dangerous. Luckily we should bypass Kante and Matic in attack at least because we have zero midfield to play through. Chelsea should win really... a draw would be a good result for us. Got to view games on a points-average basis for top 4. Knowing the PL though anything can happen.
Behave, lads. Why do we watch football if we're just gonna take a point if offered? Be positive, enjoy the excitement and wait to see what happens. We have just as much chance of winning as they do.
Actually his footwork is reasonably ok - he just can't kick accurately. On Karius - confidence is good of course, but it's a small step to over-confidence so I'll wait to see which side of the line he's on.
Jurgen Klopp has warned Liverpool they must not allow in-form Chelsea striker Diego Costa to bully them at Stamford Bridge. The Anfield boss says the Reds’ backline must be combative against the fiery Spain international, who has scored four league goals already this season. Centre-back Dejan Lovren, who missed the win over Leicester City due to a head injury, is expected to return to the Liverpool team on Friday night alongside Joel Matip. “Being aggressive is important against Costa,” Klopp said. “If you are in a friendly game mood then you have no chance. “He is a real warrior on the pitch. He uses his body all the time – that is his quality. World class. “He was nearly unstoppable against Swansea. He is strong, no doubt.”
Jurgen Klopp has happy memories of Stamford Bridge. The Liverpool boss enjoyed the first league victory of his reign last October when the Reds came from behind to clinch a 3-1 win - piling the misery on Jose Mourinho’s struggling Chelsea. The clubs meet again in the capital on Friday night with Klopp only too aware that the Londoners are now a very different proposition under the guidance of Antonio Conte. Buoyed by a £115million summer spending spree on Michy Batshuayi, N’Golo Kante, Marcos Alonso and David Luiz, Chelsea have put last season’s lowly 10th placed finish firmly behind them. They have taken 10 points out of a possible 12 so far - their perfect start dented by last weekend’s controversial 2-2 draw at Swansea City. With Liverpool riding high themselves after the 4-1 demolition of Leicester City, Klopp is relishing the trip to West London. “I am very excited,” Klopp said. “Games against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge are a special thing and always will be in the Premier League. They are a strong side in a good moment. “I saw the 90 minutes versus Swansea and they could have won that game. They were competitive, physically strong and have learned from the experience of last season. “They are the champion of two years ago. Last season was not a Chelsea season but they have changed manager and are back on track so we must be ready for a real challenge. “They defend well and attack quick and strong, so it’s not the most easy job in world football. But we are quite confident that we can do something there.” http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/spor...-chelsea-different-proposition-under-11887523
Strangely confident about this one - our attack is capable of destroying most defences and it will be heavily relied up on to carry this team through this season.
