Chelsea vs Liverpool live: Bruno takes charge of first game after Potter sacking

Amazingly, these two teams have met 70 times already this century! Liverpool have had the better of the battles of late, winning two cup finals (on penalties) last season, while they are unbeaten in their last four league games at Stamford Bridge.

It's generally quite difficult to split there pair, though, the last five clashes have all been 0-0 after 90 minutes!

Jurgen Klopp is the longest serving manager in the Premier League, having taken charge in October 2015! He admits he's only in the job because of previous successes though, stating "I'm sitting here because of the past, not because of what we did this season.”

Chelsea haven't missed out on European football since the 2016/17 season, but they're 11th in the table heading into this clash, five points behind Brighton who are sixth, but have played two games fewer. It looks like they've got a huge fight on their hands just to reach the Europa Conference League. It's fair to say that's not what Todd Boehly would have hoped for when he bought the club

There's some huge games taking place across Europe tonight, including numerous cup semi-finals. We've got you covered for the Coppa Italia last four clash between Juventus and Inter Milan

Jordan Henderson makes a landmark 350th top flight appearance for the club tonight. That puts him 22nd on their all time list, although he's got some way to go to catch Ian Callaghan, who turned out for the Reds a whopping 640 times in the league!

Despite all the attacking players they've signed over the last 12 months, Chelsea's goal return has been abysmal. Indeed their total of a dozen strikes on home soil is the joint-lowest in the Premier League, while Kai Havertz is their top scorer on just nine goals in all competitions

The Reds have lost their last three matches; to Bournemouth, Real Madrid and Manchester City. They haven't been beaten in four successive games since February 2021

Chelsea's home defeat to Aston Villa as the weekend proved to be one loss too many for Graham Potter, who has been relieved of his duties after only taking the reins in the Autumn. But who could replace the former Brighton manager? There's plenty of interesting names being linked with the role

Fulham have been dealt a huge blow in their quest for European football, after their star striker picked was handed an eight match ban for pushing the referee during their FA Cup defeat to Manchester United. Read up on the details in full here

Liverpool got battered 4-1 by Manchester City in their last game, putting in an insipid performance. Jurgen Klopp's response is to make six changes, three of them in defence, as Joe Gomez, Joel Matip, Kostas Tsimikas, Curtis Jones, Roberto Firmino and Darwin Nunez replace Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk, Andy Robertson, Harvey Elliott, Mo Salah and Cody Gakpo

N'golo Kante makes his first Chelsea start for seven months tonight after returning from injury against Aston Villa at the weekend. He's one of two changes made by interim boss Bruno, as Wesley Fofana also starts, with Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Mykhailo Mudryk dropping to the bench

CHELSEA: Kepa; Fofana, Koulibaly, Cucurella; James, Fernandez, Kante, Chilwell; Havertz, Felix, Kovacic

Subs: Mendy, Badiashile, Loftus-Cheek, Mount, Pulisic, Mudryk, Gallagher, Madueke, Sterling

LIVERPOOL: Alisson; Gomez, Konate, Matip, Tsimikas; Jones, Fabinho, Henderson; Jota, Firmino, Nunez

Subs: Kelleher, Robertson, Phillips, Alexander-Arnold, Carvalho, Milner, Arthur, Gakpo, Salah
