Jackson stays on the ground
The Senegalese striker was hurt during his big shot on the edge a few minutes earlier. The trainers intervene.
Chelsea waste cartridges
The Blues notably have opportunities on corners but fail to bring danger in this exercise.
Szoboszla frappe sur Sanchez
Good entry from Nunez who finds Gakpo behind the defense. The Dutchman’s pass is good for the Hungarian, who lacks intensity in his shot to surprise the goalkeeper.
The firecracker on Jackson’s edge!
Great exterior from Caicedo to launch his attacker deep. The Senegalese arms a missile at a tight angle, which hits Kelleher’s edge!
Gakpo for 2-0… but it’s refused!
Chelsea are groggy since the conceded goal and concede a new goal on a flash counter, concluded by Gakpo! But the passer Salah was offside at the start, it was a close call.
Hard blow for Liverpool
Quickly after the goal, Jota had to give up his place due to injury, warmly applauded by Anfield. It is Nunez who takes his place at the forefront.
Yellow card for Jackson
The Blues striker received a yellow before the penalty for trying to obstruct the striker.
SALAAAAH, 1-0 FOR LIVERPOOL!!!
Who else than the Egyptian to get the Reds going! Salah catapults the ball into the net, Sanchez had gone the opposite way, and Liverpool are launched!
This time, penalty for Liverpool!
Anfield finally roars! Colwill is still in the wrong position and brings down Jones in his area. This time, the referee points to the penalty spot!
Salah collapses in the area!
It goes from one goal to another and the Egyptian falls into the box in contact with Colwill who seems to hook him. But the referee judges that there is no fault!
Palmer caught in front of goal!
It’s Madueke who is still making trouble on the right on Robertson. His pass into the area is for Palmer who arrives launched, but the Englishman is prevented from hitting at the last minute by Jones!
Chelsea are clearly gaining momentum
Another sequence of conservation from the Blues, which resulted in a corner conceded by Alexander-Arnold. The Maresca players are taking control.
So many risks taken by Sanchez
The Chelsea goalkeeper gets a real scare against Gakpo’s pressing. His pass is closely blocked by his opponent just in front of his goal, he recovers it with great success.
Very enterprising taste
The French full-back, if he plays in an unusual left-back position, does not hesitate to offer and project himself a lot. Maresca’s instructions allow him to evolve extremely high.
Chelsea put their foot down
Things are getting better for the Blues, in a good sequence. Madueke sets fire on the right and serves Caicedo, who was looking for Sancho in the area. Liverpool emerge.
Very imprecise taste
Superb long ball played by goalkeeper Sanchez towards Sancho. The Englishman puts it behind him for the French full-back, who sends his cross into the clouds.
The Reds are biting
It is Liverpool who are the most intense at the start of the match. Slot players move the ball around, quickly and well. The Blues defense holds but suffers.
Orange-yellow card for Tosin!
How lenient the referee is on this one! Liverpool recovers and Salah swings in front, Jota gets the better of the English defender, who knocks him down at full speed and prevents him from going to goal… The red could have escaped!
Liverpool are already demanding a penalty
First bleeding exit from the Reds, Jota extends towards Salah on the right. The Egyptian wants to play hard towards the area but Colwill then Lavia touches the ball with his arm, the last at the edge of his area… The referee doesn’t whistle anything though.
James well on the right, Gusto on the left
The captain of the Blues regains his preferred position. Chelsea are four behind but Gusto is positioned extremely high on the left lane, leaving the construction to his 3 defensive friends.
It’s off to Anfield!
It was the Chelsea Blues who launched this shock of the 8th day of the Premier League!
It’s the “You’ll never walk alone” time
Anfield welcomes the 22 players in a beautiful atmosphere. The inevitable “You’ll never walk alone” resonates and makes us nervous. John Brooks will be the arbiter of this poster.
A still dazzling Cole Palmer?
The England international has had a resounding start to the season with the Blues. He has 6 goals (including a quadruple against Brighton) and 5 assists in 7 games, just that.
Manchester City becomes provisional leader
Pep Guardiola’s players have just taken the lead in the Championship, thanks to a goal in added time in Wolverhampton (1-2). Now two lengths behind, Liverpool need a success against Chelsea to regain their due.
Sacred clash of stars in perspective
Under threat from Manchester City and Arsenal, Liverpool must win to maintain a small lead at the top of the Premier League. In machine mode, the Reds remain on six victories overall. But Chelsea also arrive launched and threaten behind the big guys in the championship. The Blues, who have not lost since the first day, would come within one point of Arne Slot’s players if successful.
The Chelsea eleven, Gusto holder, the flamboyant Palmer too
Enzo Maresca must do without suspended Marc Cucurella and Wesley Fofana. Reece James is making his comeback and will play his first minutes of the season. Malo Gusto switches to the left-back position. In very good form, Cole Palmer starts at number 10. Christopher Nkunku is on the bench.
Sanchez – James, Adarabioyo, Colwill, Gusto – Lavia, Caicedo – Madueke, Palmer, Sancho – Jackson
The Liverpool line-up, without Alisson but with Konaté
Caoimhin Kelleher has the mission of supporting Alisson Becker, injured in his tendon, while Andy Robertson returns to the left-back position, as does Dominik Szoboszlai as leader. The Frenchman Ibrahima Konaté continues in central defense.
Kelleher – Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk, Konaté, Robertson – Gravenberch, Jones – Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo – Jota
