Preview
Chelsea head into this after they managed to hold Liverpool to a 1-1 draw in their previous clash.
It was a good performance from the Blues after they were down to 10-men following James’ red card for a handball.
Havertz broke the deadlock but Liverpool equalized before the half from Salah’s spot-kick.
Tuchel will hope his side uses the confidence from that contest when they meet the Claret and Blue army.
