This weekend the Blues take on the Reds for the first time this season. We have here the important pre-match facts ahead of the Premier League encounter...

Liverpool vs Chelsea: Head-to-head record (all competitions)

Played 192
Won 65
Drawn 46
Lost 80

Biggest win for each team

Chelsea 6-1 Liverpool 1937/38 Division One
Liverpool 6-0 Chelsea 1934/35 Division One

Chelsea’s biggest win at Anfield is 4-1 in 1907/08 (Division One) and 2005/06 (Premier League)

Chelsea are looking to extend our unbeaten Premier League run against Liverpool to four games (one win, two draws).

The Blues last won at Anfield in March 2021 when Mason Mount scored the only goal.

In last season’s corresponding fixture, we managed a 1-1 draw despite having Reece James sent off in first-half stoppage time.

We played Jurgen Klopp’s side four times in 2021/22 and drew them all in either 90 or 120 minutes, with Liverpool winning both cup finals after a penalty shoot-out.

This will be our 92nd game at Anfield and together with Goodison Park, it more than we have played at an away ground in our history.


Since 2012, Chelsea have played 12 times at Anfield in all competitions. We have won four, drawn six and lost two.

Liverpool have lost four of their last eight Premier League games, as many as in their previous 37 games combined.

They have not managed to keep a clean sheet in their past eight Premier League games.

The Reds have scored at least once in each of their last 32 Premier League home games (won 24, drawn seven, lost one), with their only defeat in that time coming against Leeds in October. The last visiting goalkeeper to keep a league clean sheet at Anfield was Fulham's Alphonse Areola in March 2021.

Chelsea stats

Since the start of last season, only Harry Kane (11) has scored more headed goals in the Premier League than Kai Havertz (six).


Thiago Silva has made more successful clearances (74), more interceptions (24), more blocks (17) and completed more passes (1,185) than any other Chelsea player in the Premier League this season.

Mykhailo Mudryk could become the second player from Ukraine to play in the Premier League for Chelsea after Andriy Shevchenko.

Chelsea milestones

When Cesar Azpilicueta next takes to the pitch, it will be his 500th Chelsea appearance. He will join five players who have reached that landmark for the club. He will be the first from overseas.
