Liverpool 0-0 Chelsea LIVE! Premier League result, match stream, latest updates today

Liverpool vs Chelsea LIVE!

Liverpool and Chelsea continued their disappointing seasons as the injury-hit mid-table teams played out an uninspiring 0-0 draw at Anfield in the Premier League on Saturday.

Chelsea thought they had raced into a third-minute lead when Kai Havertz fired home from close range after a corner, only for VAR to rule the German offside. Liverpool seemed shorn of confidence as they looked to avoid three straight league defeats, only creating half chances with new signing Cody Gakpo missing the best of them in the opening period.

The visitors introduced big-money January arrival Mykhailo Mudryk in the second half but, while he looked lively, the Ukrainian was unable to lift the Blues, who earned a point that leaves them 10th in the standings, with Liverpool eighth. Read the game back below with our dedicated match blog, featuring expert insight and analysis from Nizaar Kinsella at Anfield.

14:37 , Alex Young

Here are Nizaar Kinsella’s Chelsea player ratings.

Two men impressed.

14:28 , Alex Young

Neither team could afford to lose this game, really, but a draw also does neither any help.

I suspect Klopp would be the more frustrated of the pair.

Full-time!

14:25 , Alex Young

96min: That’s it!

14:20 , Alex Young

91min: Five minutes added on.

14:20 , Alex Young

90min: Jones gets booked for a foul on Azpilicueta.

14:17 , Alex Young

86min: It’s all getting a bit frantic and end-to-end. Azpilicueta takes the ball off of the toe of an unmarked Salah at the back post.

14:12 , Alex Young

81min: Azpilicueta is on for his 500th Chelsea appearance, the first overseas player to reach that landmark. Aubameyang and Chukwuemeka also come on. Injured Chalobah off, Mount and Havertz.

14:09 , Alex Young

79min: Both teams preparing changes now. Liverpool possibily throwing on three news faces.

14:06 , Alex Young

75min: Mudryk has transformed the match for Chelsea, almost combining with Ziyech again for the opener until the latter’s shot is blocked.

14:02 , Alex Young

73min: Trent is now on, replacing Milner.

14:02 , Alex Young

72min: Mudryk at the back post and looks certain to volley home but tries to control the fizzed pass the chance is gone.

14:00 , Alex Young

70min: Alexander-Arnold is coming on.

13:59 , Alex Young

69min: A smart turn and shot from Gakpo, which I think is Liverpool’s second shot on target and first of his second half.

Straight at Kepa.

13:57 , Alex Young

67min: Mudryk looks to race clear from Milner, who flies in and takes then booking. Some introduction for the £88.5m man.

Milner surely needs to go taken off.

13:56 , Alex Young

65min: Almost a debut goal for Mudryk! Fantastic feet to find space in the area before firing into the side netting.

That livened up the crowd.

13:53 , Alex Young

62min: Mudryk’s first real touch of note, and it’s a heavy one as the ball goes out of play.

Nunez is on, replacing Keita.

13:50 , Alex Young

60min: Here comes Darwin Nunez.

13:46 , Alex Young

56min: Mudryk is playing on the left, Gallagher drops in at no6 with Mount the no10.

13:45 , Alex Young

55min: Lewis Hall makes way.

13:44 , Alex Young

54min: Mudryk is getting some instructions from Potter. Debut imminent?

13:43 , Alex Young

52min: Chelsea can’t get out of their half!

Gakpo and Elliott combine well down the left and look to find Salah in the area but the move breaks down.

13:40 , Alex Young

50min: Keita’s goalbound effort is blocked by Thiago Silva inside the area!

Liverpool really pushing.

13:38 , Alex Young

49min: Free kick is floated to the back post, but Chelsea clear at the second attempt.

13:38 , Alex Young

48min: Liverpool on the front foot, with Salah going close and Milner busy on high up on the right to push Chelsea back.

Robertson wins a free kick off Ziyech.

Second half

13:36 , Alex Young

46min: Back underway!

13:32 , Alex Young

Will Jurgen Klopp make changes? Perhaps time to throw Nunez into the mix and put Gakpo on the left.

Something needs to change.

Half-time!

13:19 , Alex Young

50min: Poor. Very poor.

13:16 , Alex Young

47min: Salah on the right, into the area, cuts inside... and finds row Z.

Rough.

13:16 , Alex Young

46min: Four minutes added on.

13:14 , Alex Young

44min: Impressive defending by Thiago Silva, who heads the ball over Kepa to send a cross behind for a corner. He had to do that with Salah lurking at the back post.

13:12 , Alex Young

42min: This has not been a good half of football.

13:11 , Alex Young

39min: Better from Liverpool, who work it towards the edge of Chelsea’s area before first Salah’s half-volley is blocked and then Thiago’s deflected effort is comfortable for Kepa.

13:06 , Alex Young

34min: Bajcetic is booked for a foul on Hall.

13:03 , Alex Young

31min: Almost the opener! The delivery is wiped in and evades every Liverpool defender until Badiashile’s heads straight at Alisson.

Big chance for his first goal.

13:01 , Alex Young

30min: Half an hour gone and Chelsea on top after an impressive opening period.

Hall wins a free kick around 30 yards out, near the left-hand touchline.

Nizaar Kinsella at Anfield

12:56 , Alex Young

“Gallagher's position is very interesting.

“In the no10 role, his running off the ball has created some threat for Liverpool to cope with. Almost in-behind from a good Ziyech pass.”

12:53 , Alex Young

23min: Chance!

Havertz is getting in great positions and finds himself in Liverpool’s area, back to goal. A little flick finds Mount, who play it out wide to Hall for a shot-cum-cross across the face of goal.

Mount could have gone himself then.

12:52 , Alex Young

15min: Liverpool have handed Chelsea’s fast start well, and are starting to put some pressure on their visitors.

Nizaar Kinsella at Anfield

12:45 , Alex Young

“Havertz’s foot was ahead the ball when Thiago Silva shot against the post, leading to the offside.

“If Alisson had saved it, he would have been onside because it wouldn’t have counted as a pass.”

Every day is a school day.

12:41 , Alex Young

8min: A frantic start to the game after that disallowed goal.

Thiago Silva had hit the post in an onside position, but Havertz was then offside for the rebound.

NO GOAL!

12:35 , Alex Young

3min: Chelsea think they lead as Havertz fires home after Liverpool fail to deal with a corner, but the German is offside.

12:33 , Alex Young

2min: Robertson has already wiped out Gallagher.

Kick-off!

12:32 , Alex Young

1min: Here we go!

12:18 , Alex Young

It’s not warm up north (or anywhere in England). Here’s Nizaar.

12:11 , Alex Young

Here’s what £88.5million buys you. Mykhailo Mudryk is in the building and on the bench.

Klopp on Chelsea spending

12:09 , Alex Young

Jurgen Klopp cannot explain Chelsea's unprecedented "impressive" spending.

The Blues have spent over £400million since the consortium headed by billionaire Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital took over in the summer, with £140m of that outlay coming in the last 15 days with potentially more expected before the end of the month.

That is a lot more than Liverpool, who after buying Benfica forward Darwin Nunez for an initial £64m - which could rise to a club-record £85m with add-ons - and youngsters Fabio Carvalho (from Fulham for £5m) and Calvin Ramsay (from Aberdeen for £6.5m), have added £38m PSV Eindhoven forward Cody Gakpo as their likely only January transfer.

On whether Chelsea's spending made the challenge for the Premier League top four more difficult Klopp, who celebrates his 1,000th match as a manager on Saturday, said: "Maybe. It may get probably even worse or better, I don't know exactly how you want to say it.

"Interesting (the spending). I cannot explain it, I have no idea. But if the numbers are true then it's impressive."

Do or die in top-four race

11:59 , Alex Young

With both Liverpool and Chelsea sitting a huge 19 points adrift of leaders Arsenal, defeat for either in today’s Anfield showdown would realistically spell the end of their top-four ambitions.

Jurgen Klopp still clearly holds a lot of credit after inspiring the Reds to their historic title triumph but the outcome may be bleaker for Graham Potter, who is still to convince some of the more impatient elements of the Stamford Bridge support that he is the right man for the job.

Mudryk on the bench

11:49 , Alex Young

It's just the one change for Chelsea from the 1-0 win over Crystal Palace as Marc Cucurella comes in for Carney Chukwuemeka.

Fans will have to wait a little bit longer to see £88.5m January signing Mykhailo Mudryk as the 22-year-old winger is on the bench.

Mateo Kovacic is not involved.

11:45 , Alex Young

Graham Potter’s line up will again leave people guessing with Marc Cucurella the only change for Carney Chukwuemeka from the 1-0 win over Crysta Palace last time out.

They have either crowbarred someone in at right wing back or Lewis Hall is playing in his preferred central midfield role.

Three changes for Liverpool

11:42 , Alex Young

Jurgen Klopp makes three changes from the win over Wolves in the FA Cup.

Alisson, Andy Robertson and Mohamed Salah come back into the lineup, as 18-year-old Stefan Bajcetic keeps his place in midfield. James Milner is in at right-back with Trent Alexander-Arnold nursing a niggle on the bench.

Darwin Nunez is fit enough for a place on the bench after missing the last two games.

Chelsea XI

11:32 , Alex Young

Mudryk is on the bench.

Liverpool XI

11:30 , Alex Young

Alexander-Arnold is on the bench.

11:29 , Alex Young

Sounds like Mudryk is on the bench.

Klopp is 1000-up!

11:24 , Alex Young

Jurgen Klopp will today mark his 1,000th match as a manager.

The 55-year-old began at Mainz, where he took charge for the first time on February 28, 2001, before moving to Borussia Dortmund where he broke Bayern Munich's Bundesliga stranglehold with back-to-back titles in 2011 and 2012.

He went on to win every major club honour at Liverpool, including a sixth Champions League and a first Premier League title in 30 years, while also leading the Reds to two other Champions League finals and two second-place league finishes, one with a record 97 points.

His Liverpool side have been pipped to the title by Manchester City twice by a point, in 2019 and 2022, but holds the record for winning more competitive games against Pep Guardiola (11) than any other coach.

Klopp's overall win percentage across his career is 53.9 per cent, with his Liverpool record 60.7 per cent.

Score prediction

11:10 , Alex Young

It’s hard to gauge Liverpool at the moment, while Chelsea’s options have been absolutely decimated by injury.

With neither at full strength, a draw seems a likely outcome.

1-1 draw.

Chelsea team news

11:01 , Alex Young

For Chelsea, Mykhailo Mudryk is in contention to make his debut in at least some capacity, although it comes too early for the likes of Reece James and Ben Chilwell despite their return to training.

Denis Zakaria has become the latest Blues player struck down by injury and will not be available for around four weeks.

Liverpool team news

10:48 , Alex Young

Jurgen Klopp rung the changes for the win over Wolves and is expected to bring back some of his big-name players.

Alisson should start in goal, while all of Mohamed Salah, Andy Robertson and Fabinho are in line to return.

Still, the Liverpool boss has spoken of wanting his team to fight, so perhaps that indicates at some surprising calls.
