Having lost our last two Premier League games, we are aiming to avoid a third consecutive defeat in the competition for the first time since April/May 2023 (a run of four).

Chelsea have lost four of our last five home Premier League matches against the reigning champions (one draw, four defeats), having gone undefeated at Stamford Bridge between 2002/03 and 2019/20 (seven wins, six draws).

Last weekend was the first time that each of Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United all lost on the same day in the Premier League since 16 April 1994, 31 years and 164 days ago.

Liverpool have scored in 40 Premier League matches in a row, their longest run of all-time scoring in consecutive top-flight games. The last team to keep a clean sheet against the Reds in the competition was Nottingham Forest on 14 September 2024 when they scored the only goal of the match at Anfield.

Arne Slot’s side have opened the scoring in seven of their last nine away Premier League matches.

Liverpool are looking to avoid losing consecutive Premier League matches for the first time since April 2023, having lost 2-1 at Crystal Palace last time out.

Alexander Isak has scored in each of his last two Premier League appearances at Stamford Bridge, netting for Newcastle in defeats in both 2023/24 and 2024/25. The only player to score in three consecutive seasons away at an opponent and lose all three is Rod Wallace at Norwich between 1992/93 and 1994/95 for Leeds.

Liverpool have suffered back-to-back losses for the second time under Arne Slot (also PSG and Newcastle in March).
