Hello and welcome to the live coverage of the English Premier League matchday 7 encounter between Chelsea and Liverpool.
The Chelsea vs Liverpool clash will take place at the Stamford Bridge in London. Will the home support help the Blues or the Reds will continue with their dominance?
Both Chelsea and Liverpool suffered defeats in their last match. Liverpool were handed a shock loss by Crystal Palace to get the taste of their first defeat of the league. Chelsea too come in the game on the back of a defeat at the hands of Manchester United.
Liverpool are winless in their last four Premier League games at Stamford Bridge (D3 L1), while Chelsea have lost four of their last five home Premier League matches against the reigning champions (D1 L4).
The Blues could lose three consecutive Premier League games for the first time since a streak of four defeats under Frank Lampard in April and May 2023, and they have also lost three games in the competition when scoring first in 2025.
KICK OFF!

Moises Caicedo fires the opening goal of the night and Chelsea are up and running. Blues take the lead to shock Reds. Moises Caicedo finds the top left corner from inside the box with a great effort.
28' Chelsea have been dominant since taking the lead and they are putting Liverpool under pressure. Interesting passage of play going on with Chelsea controlling the ball as Liverpool aim to go level.
Half-time
It is 1-0 in favour of Chelsea after the first 45 minutes of this clash. Liverpool started on frontfoot but were soon shocked by Caicedo's strike and Chelsea have kept the lead since then. It has been a good back and forth and much more action is waiting to come after the break. Stay tuned.
70 minutes played, and Liverpool have equalised through Cody Gakpo, who poked home in the 63rd minute after Isak showed excellent first touch to play him on. Since then, the Reds have pushed hard for another goal, with Chelsea looking under pressure.
84' Chelsea will get a corner kick. A brilliant effort from Estêvão who finds himself in space on the edge of the box and smashes a glorious looking effort towards the left side of the goal, but Giorgi Mamardashvili thwarts him with a great two-handed save. It is still 1-1.
90+6' Goal for Chelsea
Chelsea take lead with just one minute left on the clock. What a time to score and the Blues will think they have pocketed all three points in this game. Estêvão has an easy time to put the ball into an empty goal and Chelsea are all set for a W.
Full-time
Estevao fires a late winner and Chelsea take home all three points to add to the worries of Arne Slot and Liverpool.
Chelsea (Caicedo 14', Estevao 90+5') 2-1 Liverpool (Gakpo 63')
