Chelsea have lost just once in their last eight Premier League games against Liverpool, though that was in this exact fixture last season (W3 D4).
Jurgen Klopp recorded his first Premier League win against the Blues at Stamford Bridge in October 2015.
Chelsea have lost just once on a Friday in the Premier League, losing 4-2 to Charlton Athletic in December 2003 (W2 D3).

Chelsea’s even steven finish with Swansea made The Blues drop into the second spot of the league table. Although they remained unbeaten in their last 4 matches, losing 2 points has an effect in their campaign this season. Because of the draw, they are now trailing Manchester City, which currently occupies the top spot after beating Manchester United.

But on the other hand, the good side of settling for a draw is that they could use it to deliver a better performance against Liverpool.

Chelsea is said to have a problem with their defence and Antonio Conte responded via luring David Luiz back into Stamford Bridge. He is expected to play in this match along with Oscar, whom Conte described as the man responsible for bringing balance in the squad.

In terms of scoring, Diego Costa remains a threat. He already has 5 points under his belt. Following him is the playmaker Eden Hazard, who now has 3 points.
Chelsea have kept just one clean sheet in their last 14 home league games, though this was in their last fixture against Burnley (3-0).
Diego Costa has scored five goals in his last five Premier League appearances, including four in four under Antonio Conte this season.

The Reds have scored more Premier League goals in 2016 than any other side (50), with 24 of these coming away from home - a joint league-high alongside Tottenham.

Despite playing outside Anfield, Liverpool still carries the momentum generated by their 4-1 victory over Leicester. Such performance can be considered as the perfect reaction of a squad, which experienced frustrating setbacks in their last two matches.

On a closer look, it can be seen that Liverpool shows major improvement in their attacking department. The thrashing of Leicester was the second time that Liverpool converted four goals. They did it in their debut match against Arsenal and if Chelsea s not careful, the Reds could take them out of the spotlight.
In an interview with Jurgen Klopp, the ex-Borussia Dortmund manager disclosed that it was not their performance in the transfer market that improved their attacking options, rather, he pointed out to the team’s collective desire that enabled them to be one of the best this season. However, it cannot be denied that Sadio Mane’s arrival has definitely given them more flexibility.

Sane has delivered two goals for the club. The same thing with Robert Firmino, Adam Lallana and Philippe Coutinho. With Sane in the house, it is evident that Liverpool I sno longer compelled to solely rely on those three in scoring.

Liverpool have won 4 of their 5 five Premier League games contested on a Friday, losing the other to Arsenal in April 2004.
If Chelsea win, it will be the 27th home win in this fixture in the Premier League (currently 13 each) - no Premier League fixture has had more (Liverpool v Newcastle also 27).
