Goal for Liverpool FC, 0-1 by Sadio Mané
Mané puts the Reds in the lead! Henderson’s half-high ball into the offensive center wants to clear Chelsea’s defender Chalobah incomprehensibly with his head. He involuntarily hangs up for Mané. The goalkeeper Mendy curves around in the penalty area and completes from ten meters in the center into the gate, which is only guarded by Thiago Silva.

Pulišić fails best Location at Kelleher! Havertz forced a ball win by running high against Alexander-Arnold on the right side of the penalty area. His American colleague appears free in front of the storming keeper Kelleher, but he can spit the ball off his foot with his right hand.

Yellow card for Sadio Mané (Liverpool FC)
Mané saw the first yellow card after just 15 seconds. The ex-Salzburg hit Azpilicueta with his right elbow in the face. Tuchel’s loud demands for a dismissal are not completely incomprehensible.

Chelsea versus Liverpool – passage one at Stamford Bridge is open!
17:27
The teams have just stepped onto the lawn.
17:14
The Reds, who won the last two guest appearances at Stamford Bridge and who have not yet won three attempts in London in the English elite class this season (two draws, one defeat), are compared to the 0: 1 away defeat at Leicester City FC three personnel changes. Alisson and Matip and Oxlade-Chamberlain (Bank) who may be missing with positive corona tests will be replaced by Kelleher, Konaté and Milner.
17:07
On the side of the Blues, who got a 1-1 draw in the first leg in Anfield at the end of August despite being short 45 minutes and who have already given up eleven points after leading the current Premier League season, coach Thomas Tuchel after the 1: 1 draws at home against Brighton & Hove Albion FC five times. Instead of Christensen, James (both not in the squad), Lukaku (suspended), Jorginho and Hudson-Odoi (both on the bench), Alonso, Thiago Silva, Kanté, Chalobah and Havertz start.
16:57
Liverpool FC also missed a successful end to the 2021 calendar year. After the loss of the home game against Leeds United FC, the Reds showed an attractive performance at Leicester City FC, but lost 1-0 due to insufficient chances. Today’s guest appearance in West London will be tackled without head coach Klopp, who is in quarantine due to a corona infection.
16:51
Chelsea FC is not able to produce winning streaks this season and last won two Premier League games in a row at the end of October. After the 3-1 away win at Aston Villa FC on Boxing Day, Lukaku’s header hit (28th) in Wednesday’s home game against Brighton & Hove Albion FC for a long time on the way to another three, but they conceded in stoppage time but still the compensation. In addition to the unsatisfactory sporting situation, there is the unrest around Lukaku, who recently made his wish to return to Milan public and is therefore not on the matchday squad today.
16:41
Since with Chelsea FC the second in the table receives the third Liverpool FC, the designation as a top game is certainly not wrong, but does not adequately describe the balance of power in the top three ranks of the Premier League. After leaders Manchester City FC won 2-1 at Arsenal FC with a goal in stoppage time yesterday, the Blues and Reds are eleven and twelve points behind the Sky Blues, respectively.
16:31
Hello and welcome to the Premier League early on Sunday evening! On matchday 21, Chelsea FC will host Liverpool FC. Blues and Reds face each other on the lawn of Stamford Bridge from 5:30 p.m. our time.
