Preview
The 2023-24 Premier League season is underway, with the campaign kicking off with defending champions Manchester City's 3-0 win over Burnley followed by a host of fixtures on Saturday. However, the standout fixture of Matchday 1 in the English top flight takes place on Sunday, with Chelsea hosting Liverpool in a battle that exceeds footballing matters.
For the Blues, the goal this season is simple and that is to improve on their 12th-place finish last campaign. With Mauricio Pochettino at the helm, the London giants appear destined to achieve that.
However, how will they fare against Liverpool, one of England's better teams and a side with a deadly attack? This is the question on everyone's mind as it is vital to kick off the season with a win.
Additionally, there is another element to this tie and that is the whole Moises Caicedo debacle. The Ecuadorian sensation has been at the center of a transfer saga, with Jurgen Klopp's side agreeing a deal with Brighton. Unfortunately, the midfielder has not green-lighted a move to Anfield as he prefers Stamford Bridge instead.
Todd Boehly and Co. reportedly want to get this deal done in time for Sunday's game so they can parade him at the Bridge in front of Liverpool and its fans, which would spark controversy. Furthermore, the London giants also wish to sign Romeo Lavia, another key target for Jurgen Klopp.
Regardless, none will be on the pitch in this game. The Reds, who missed out on UEFA Champions League football, must make do with what they have and while they lack a proper defensive midfielder, Salah and Co. have been fairly impressive during the preseason. Do not miss this clash.
Team news
Chelsea: Wesley Fofana and Christopher Nkunku are both sadly injured and expected to miss a large portion of the season. Meanwhile, Benoit Badiashile, Noni Madueke, and Armando Broja have returned to training but missed the preseason and are unlikely to feature. Nicolas Jackson, on the other hand, enjoyed a brilliant preseason campaign and is set to start this fixture.
Liverpool: Thiago Alcantara and Stefan Bajcetic are yet to return from injury. However, Dominik Szoboszlai is set to make his Premier League debut. Additionally, Curtis Jones and Alexis Mac Allister should start in midfield in this game.
