Come Sunday night, one of the biggest caveats of the Premier League season will be no more. There may be plenty to say about Liverpool, but none of it will come with the rejoinder "but they haven't done it against a top side" once the final whistle has blown at Anfield after Chelsea's visit.

Fans of Chelsea are optimistic Enzo Maresca's men will hand Liverpool their second defeat of the 2024/25 Premier League season when they meet at Anfield.

Jamie Carragher has heaped praise on ‘game-changing footballer’ Cole Palmer and admits Liverpool would be more likely to win the Premier League if the Chelsea star was plying his trade at Anfield. Palmer enjoyed a remarkable breakout season at Stamford Bridge last year and has already enhanced his status as one of the best players in the Premier League this term.
