New Delhi: Liverpool’s new head coach, Arne Slot, has made a remarkable start since taking over from Jurgen Klopp. After overseeing a strong victory against Crystal Palace, where an early goal from Diogo Jota secured a narrow win, Slot has led the Reds to eight wins from nine matches. However, the match was marred by an injury to veteran goalkeeper Alisson Becker, forcing 23-year-old debutant Vitezslav Jaros to step up and keep a clean sheet.
As Liverpool sits at the top of the Premier League, they face Chelsea, who are eager to end their recent winless streak against the Merseysiders. Slot’s team is on a roll, aiming for a seventh straight win across all competitions, and their solid defence has only conceded two goals in the league so far this season.
Chelsea, managed by Enzo Maresca, will be looking to build on their strong attacking performance this season, having scored 16 goals—only one less than league leaders Manchester City. Despite their recent draw with Nottingham Forest, the Blues are determined to break their nine-game winless run against Liverpool, a task that will be challenging but crucial in their pursuit of success. As the teams prepare to clash, all eyes will be on Anfield for what promises to be an exciting encounter.
