Chelsea 0–Liverpool
- The hosts are struggling to find their groove at the moment.
Chelsea are playing deep and not giving The Reds the option to play through them at high tempo.

Chelsea 0–Liverpool
- Chelsea appear happy to let the Liverpool defense retain possession of the ball.
The Reds have more time to try and execute the ideal pass because the visitors are not applying any pressure.

Chelsea 0–Liverpool
- The game at Anfield got off to a cagey start.
Jones has started the game well and has scored a few goals from the center of midfield.
Caicedo appears to jolt his knee and falls to the ground, appearing to struggle, but he is able to get back up.
Tosin receives a yellow card for removing Jota; fortunately, Colwill was nearby, or else he may have received a different colored card.

Anfield atmosphere intensifying to a high
It appears that this one will be an intimidating cauldron of noise as kickoff approaches.
Naturally, we wouldn’t expect anything less from Anfield.
While Liverpool will be trying to attack from the start, the first goal might truly decide how this one plays out. If the visitors score, it would be the ideal way to quiet the fans.

Whoa!
After five minutes of stoppage time, City showed they have massive Stones, just as Wolves appeared certain to hold on for a vital point.
John Stones, the City hero, lunged to head home Phil Foden’s corner, but Bernardo Silva called him offside.
However, in one of the most contentious decisions of the season, VAR Stuart Attwell asked referee Chris Kavanagh to squint at the pitchside monitor. After concluding that Silva hadn’t blocked Sa’s view, he awarded the goal.
The city won’t ever abandon it!

Show us what you’re made of
While many pundits have spoken about Maresca transforming this Chelsea side, the only real test they have faced this season was Man City at Stamford Bridge.
On that occasion, they were played off the park and struggled to land more than a punch on the defending champions.
This afternoon’s match will really test whether the West London outfit are ready to be challenging at the top of the table once again

Show us your true nature.
Although a lot of commentators have talked about how Maresca can change this Chelsea team, Man City at Stamford Bridge has been their only true test thus far this season.
They were outplayed that time and were unable to do more than throw a punch at the reigning winners.
The game this afternoon will truly determine whether the West London team is prepared to challenge for the top spot once more.

FT: Man City 1-2 Wolves
There will be more inquiries into Premier League officials’ standards.
According to the letter of the law, Bernardo Silva was interfering with Jose Sa’s activities from where he stood, yet the referee still permitted the goal even after going to the monitor.
Wolves may feel unfairly treated since, once more, there is a lack of consistency in the officiating at this level.

Ninety plus five. The referee was sent to the monitor after VAR reviewed the goal.
Bernardo Silva was offside when he stood in front of the goalie.
Stuart Atwell grants the goal, concluding he was not interfering.
Wolves and its supporters are devastated at this point in the game.

Leader discusses the Chelsea challenge
The Liverpool manager discussed the mission at hand this afternoon at Anfield:
We need to be defensively stable in order to do anything, and we have thus far. We’re up against even better players now. Like United, Chelsea has a lot of talented players, so as a team, we must manage that while still creating opportunities for ourselves. The good thing is we have players who can score. An interesting game.

Written by Kieran Davies, an Egyptian King with evidence
For Mohamed Salah, facing his previous employers is always a significant deal.
The Egyptian winger is always focused on proving to The Blues what they let slip through their fingers after failing to make an impression at Stamford Bridge.
It will be a big task for Chelsea to keep him quiet this afternoon and could be pivotal in whether they come away from Anfield with any points.
City struggling with Portuguese wall
With only twenty minutes remaining at Molineux, the visitors have been dominating since their equaliser.
However, Pep Guardiola’s side are struggling to find a way past Jose Sa in the Wolves goal.
There is still plenty of time for either team to find a winner, but the game is finely poised at 1-1.

At halftime, Tommy Doyle, a former City midfielder, replaced Andre for Wolves, and Pep switched Savinho and Doku to the flanks.
However, City kept hitting their heads against an Old Gold brick wall when Jose Sa and company held firm. Then, Pep pulled a “Joker” move, substituting Phil Foden for Doku.

Chelsea’s starting lineup:
Reece James makes a comeback for The Blues after injury and will be tasked with shutting down Mohamed Salah.
Tosin comes into the back four, and both Caicedo and Lavia feature in the midfield, having both turned down Liverpool’s advances in the transfer market.
Liverpool starting XI:
The big news is that both Mac Allister and Diaz only make the bench after jetting all around the world for international duty.
Jones and Gakpo replace them while Kelleher stands in for the injured Alisson in goal.
Big chance for visitors to capitalise
Liverpool will miss keeper Alisson greatly for the visit of Enzo Maresca’s side.
It offers a real chance for the West London outfit to make a statement today in their pursuit of Champions League qualification.
The visitors will need to take the game to Slot’s side, with the best form of defence being attack.

City has gifted their opponents a goal of a start for the sixth time in their previous seven games in the top tier.
Josko Gvardiol, an away-day specialist, came to the rescue with a stunning five of his six City goals scored on the road.
With comeback ‘keeper Jose Sa in fine form, Wolves have defended valiantly and in large numbers to prevent City on at least two occasions.
But O’Neil’s fighters have a 45-minute wait ahead of them.

Chelsea squad updates
Wesley Fofana and Marc Cucurella, who received their fifth yellow cards of the season in their most recent match against Nottingham Forest, are sidelined for Chelsea.
Axel Disasi and Tosin Adarabioyo will battle it out to replace Fofana in the backline, and Renato Veiga may be given the difficult task of keeping Salah quiet at Anfield this afternoon due to Cucurella’s absence.
More good news for The Blues comes from the recovery of Danish goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen after a minor ailment sustained during the international break and Reece James from a pre-season injury.
FT: Wolves 1-2 Man City
More questions will be raised about the standard of Premier League officials.
By the letter of the law, Bernardo Silva was affecting the actions of Jose Sa where he was standing, but even after going to the monitor, the referee allowed the goal.
Wolves can feel hard done by, once again, we have no consistency from the referees at this level.
