Liverpool, led by Egyptian star Mohamed Salah, will be aiming to bounce back from a string of disappointing defeats when they face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge this evening, in Matchday 7 of the Premier League season.
The Reds suffered their first league defeat of the campaign last week, falling 2-1 to Crystal Palace, a result that halted their strong start and left them on 15 points at the top of the table, two ahead of Arsenal and three clear of Palace.
That setback was compounded in midweek by a 1-0 defeat to Galatasaray in the Champions League, intensifying pressure on Arne Slot’s side to deliver a response.
For Salah, tonight’s clash carries personal significance. The forward has gone three matches without a goal across all competitions, drawing blanks against Everton, Crystal Palace, and Galatasaray.
The Egyptian has a strong record against his former club Chelsea. Across 24 career appearances against the London side, Salah has been directly involved in 12 goals, scoring eight times and providing four assists.
His history against the Blues makes him one of Liverpool’s key weapons as the team looks to regain momentum.
Chelsea, meanwhile, will see this as an opportunity to test themselves against one of the league’s title contenders, while Liverpool’s priority remains clear: to halt their losing streak and keep their grip on the top of the Premier League standings.
