It's a top-of-the-table clash!
OK, so it's only Matchday 3, and Liverpool and Chelsea are two of five teams with a perfect record so far in the young Premier League season. Regardless, this is the first match between expected title contenders thus far, and both teams head into Saturday's contest in great form.
Liverpool once again looks like the unstoppable machine that dominated in all competitions prior to a rash of injuries derailed the club's title aspirations last season, with the Reds pouring it on to the tune of the most shots taken in the league plus the second-highest expected goals (xG) in the first two weeks of the campaign.
At home, Liverpool will continue to try to open things up against a Chelsea side that has proven equally adept at scoring goals while simultaneously maintaining a league-best defence that has allowed the fewest shots and accumulated the lowest xG against.
It's the classic "unstoppable force meets immovable object" match — with early title race implications.
