A loss at Anfield against Chelsea this Wednesday has already made Liverpool keen to avenge their defeat. A late stunner from Hazard turned the tables for Reds and threw them out of Carabao cup courtesy a 2-1 loss.
With Liverpool coming this time around to Stamford Bridge, they will have to play better than the mid-week display and also touch the right chord in order to get their winning rhythm back.
Learning from mistakes are Liverpool, and would try to improve the last match’s mistake too. The mistakes were briefed by Klopp in his post match conference.
Jurgen Klopp said: “We knew how Chelsea wanted to play but we gave them too much space and weren’t compact enough.Hazard came and scored a wonderful goal. We didn’t have enough time to strike back. That’s the story of the game.”
Rest being said, a nail-biter is what we expect the game to be.
