Where to watch Chelsea vs Liverpool: TV channel, live streaming details, kick-off time and team news

Chelsea welcome Liverpool in the Premier League this weekend with both sides in need of a win.

Arne Slot‘s side have lost back-to-back games after defeats to Crystal Palace and Galatasaray, so three points before the international break would be a big boost.

Meanwhile, Chelsea have been beaten by Manchester United and Brighton in their last two Premier League games.

Enzo Maresca‘s side ended both matches down to ten men with Robert Sanchez being sent off at Old Trafford before Trevoh Chalobah was dismissed on Saturday.

Both games changed hugely on those moments, with the Blues conceding all of the goals while being a man down.

This is always a huge match anyway, but both sides do need a win to head into the international break with some positivity.

• After their 3-1 win in May, Chelsea could enjoy back-to-back league wins over Liverpool for the first time since November 2014 (3 in a row).
• Liverpool are winless in their last four Premier League games at Stamford Bridge (D3 L1) and could lose away to Chelsea two seasons running in the league for the first time since losing three on the bounce from 2004-05 to 2006-07.
• Chelsea have lost four of their last five home Premier League matches against the reigning champions (D1 L4), having gone undefeated at Stamford Bridge between 2002-03 and 2019-20 (W7 D6).
• Chelsea have suffered consecutive Premier League defeats for just a third time under Enzo Maresca. The Blues have not lost three league games in a row since losing four on the bounce in April/May 2023 under Frank Lampard.
• Liverpool are looking to avoid losing consecutive Premier League matches for the first time since April 2023, having lost 2-1 at Crystal Palace last time out. The Reds have lost their last three in London, their worst losing streak in the capital since between October 2009 and November 2010 (four defeats).

Chelsea vs Liverpool: Team news

Chelsea will be without Chalobah after his red card for denying a clear goalscoring opportunity.

That means Benoit Badiashile is likely to be partnered by Josh Acheampong.

This is because Levi Colwill and Tosin Adarabioyo are out.

Wesley Fofana has missed the last two matches with concussion, so he’s doubtful for this one as well.

Cole Palmer and Liam Delap are also out.

Joao Pedro and Moises Caicedo were doubtful to play against Benfica in midweek, but they did manage to appear, but they’ll most likely be monitored ahead of this one.

Slot has confirmed that Alisson Becker will play no part after limping off in midweek.

Giorgi Mamardashvili will take his place in goal.

There is also concern over Hugo Ekitike after he went off as well with what appeared to be a hamstring injury.

That would mean Alexander Isak will lead the line despite the forward not being up to full fitness after going on strike to force through his British record move from Newcastle United.

Federico Chiesa faces a late fitness test, and Giovanni Leoni’s season is over due to an ACL injury.

Elsewhere, Slot could ring the changes, with Mohamed Salah, Alexis Mac Allister and Andy Robertson among those in line for a return.

• Chelsea have lost three Premier League matches when scoring first in 2025, their most in a single year since 2018 (also three). The Blues have also only gone to win in four of their last 12 Premier League games versus Liverpool when they’ve opened the scoring (D7 L1).
• Three of Liverpool’s first six Premier League games this season have seen a 90th minute winning goal, with the Reds on hand against Newcastle and Burnley, while Crystal Palace netted one against them last weekend. They are the first side ever to have three 90th minute winners scored across their first six games of a season.
• Since the start of last season, Chelsea have received more cards (114 yellow, 4 red) than any other Premier League side. Among managers to take charge of 20+ games with one club, only Mauricio Pochettino at Chelsea (2.9 per game) has a higher card per game ratio than Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea team (2.7).
• Liverpool’s Alexander Isak has scored in each of his last two Premier League appearances at Stamford Bridge, netting for Newcastle in defeats in both 2023-24 and 2024-25. The only player to score in three consecutive seasons away at an opponent and lose all three is Rod Wallace at Norwich City between 1992-93 and 1994-95 for Leeds.
• Federico Chiesa has two goals in just 167 minutes of Premier League football for Liverpool – among players with 10+ appearances for the Reds in the competition, Chiesa is averaging the fewest minutes per game (15 minutes).

Chelsea vs Liverpool: What has been said?

Simon Jordan has accused Jamie Carragher of overreacting after Liverpool‘s defeat to Galatasaray.

The former centre-back described the Reds as a ‘mess’, but Jordan feels that isn’t the case.

Speaking on White and Jordan, he said: “Ooh, they’ve lost two games, they’re top of the Premier League.

“They lost to Nottingham Forest at home last season in their first three or four games.

“The only difference in this situation is that they haven’t looked so assured, I remember watching Liverpool in the first game of the season against Ipswich and they weren’t looking great either.

“Let’s get things into context: They’re top of the Premier League, they’ve lost to Palace who haven’t been beaten by anybody in 18 games including some of the best teams in the country, so there’s no great shame there.

“The fact is because they’ve spent £400million over three transfer windows, they’ve replaced players they were forced to through tragedies, which increased expenditure that they wouldn’t have to do, so they’re going through a bit of a blip for five seconds. It’ll all assemble itself.”
