Premier League leaders Liverpool lock horns with Chelsea at Anfield on Wednesday night less than a month before the two teams renew hostilities in the EFL Cup final at Wembley.
Mauricio Pochettino welcomed Jurgen Klopp's side to Stamford Bridge for his first home game in charge of the Blues back in August last year when the two teams played out an entertaining 1-1 draw.
Liverpool marked their first match since Jurgen Klopp's bombshell announcement to step down at the end of the season with an emphatic 5-2 home victory over Norwich City in the FA Cup fourth round on Sunday.
A ruthless Reds outfit capitalised on the Canaries' sloppy play out from the back, as Curtis Jones, Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jota, Virgil van Dijk and Ryan Gravenberch all got their names on the scoresheet to help the eight-time FA Cup winners set up a favourable fifth-round home tie against either Watford or Southampton at the end of February.
Klopp's men have extended their unbeaten run in all competitions to 10 games, while they have only lost one of their last 17 matches over the last two-and-a-half months, but their mettle is set to be tested in back-to-back home league fixtures against Chelsea and Arsenal in the space of five days.
