Steven Gerrard reveals Chelsea weakness: This is how teams will beat them

Chelsea manager will be looking to avoid a similar situation and will be looking to walk away from Anfield with three points.

Be sure to join The Roar from 7am (AEDT) for all the action as Liverpool host Chelsea an Anfield.

For all their wonderful attacking flair, Liverpool have been found wanting on several occasions at the back, perhaps most notably in their recent 3-2 Premier League defeat to Swansea City.

Chelsea has dominated the league over the past few months.

Liverpool is 10 points adrift of Chelsea, which has an eight-point lead over second-place Arsenal heading into a full round of midweek matches spread over Tuesday and Wednesday.

The French midfielder earned plenty of new admirers for his solid performances for Leicester last season as he helped Claudio Ranieri’s men win the top flight title.

“I will have to look into his eyes and see if it is possible”. It remains undefeated against clubs in the top half of the table.

Liverpool’s 1-0 win over Man City on New Year’s Eve was a tight encounter, and this one could have a similar feel to it. Without Mane, Liverpool shifted Adam Lallana from midfield to the front three. It’s not an easy moment to play Liverpool after three defeats.

“Now it is important to recover well as we wasted a lot of energy because the game was intense and there were a lot of mistakes”. There is no doubting Chelsea have been hugely successful on the pitch since the Russian billionaire made a decision to invest in the club; a high profile investment seemingly created to stop him being chucked in prison by Vladimir Putin, but good for John Terry’s medal count, nonetheless.

Indeed, it has been a boost to opposition teams and Klopp was particularly irked by Bournemouth’s admission that they targeted Karius as the Reds’ weak link when the two sides met in December, per Andy Hunter of the Guardian.

Rumours in the press swirled about his desire to leave the club and take up a lucrative contract with Chinese Super League team Tianjin Quanjian.

Particularly encouraging for Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is the return to fitness and form of Theo Walcott and Danny Welbeck who scored hat-trick and a double respectively against a limpid Saints outfit.

“Well I am a Liverpool fan, I’m guilty of that and it will never change”, Gerrard said of his reaction to the equaliser.

The Reds do have a habit of rising for the bigger teams, though, with their problems tending to occur when they face the bottom sides. If they do slip up, it’ll give Chelsea another leg up on the title. Winning the Premier League is as much about not faltering against the bad teams as it is triumphing against the good ones.

“What (Antonio) Conte is doing with Chelsea is outstanding, but Chelsea without Costa this season?”

Sadio Mane, Senegal’s star player, was in despair after missing the decisive spot kick in a penalty shootout loss to Cameroon in the quarterfinals on Saturday in Gabon.
