Jose Mourinho’s running out of favour fast and can ill afford to commandeer Chelsea to their fifth defeat in eight matches when Liverpool roll up to Stamford Bridge. Meanwhile, Jurgen Klopp seeks out the first victory of his Reds tenure, following back-to-back draws in the last two Gameweeks.

In the last seven Gameweeks, the Blues have won twice, drawn once and lost four times, underlining their dramatic drop off in form. In the whole of the previous campaign, Chelsea conceded just 11 big chances at Stamford Bridge, but they’ve already allowed 14 this season. Astonishingly, only Bournemouth (three) have notched fewer big chances in their quintet of home matches than Chelsea (four), exposing their deficiencies at both ends of the pitch.

In the two matches that Klopp’s manned the reins, Liverpool carded just one big chance, while only four sides amassed fewer shots on target (five) – giving rise to the second worst shot accuracy in the league (18.5%) over that period. On the flip side, the Merseysiders have kept it tight at the back, surrendering just one goal and big chance during tough match-ups against Tottenham Hotspur and Southampton.
