The 36th matchweek of the Premier League this season will see Liverpool host Chelsea at Anfield. Both teams are 10 points apart in the league table, with Liverpool in the top four positions and Chelsea in the top half.

Liverpool is 4th with 58 points, while Chelsea is 9th with 48 points. Liverpool is three points away from almost securing Champions League football, while Chelsea continues to fight for European football next season.

Last weekend, Liverpool lost 3-2 to Manchester United at Old Trafford, which confirmed Man United's qualification to the Champions League.

Chelsea lost 1-3 to Nottingham Forest at Stamford Bridge, which makes it very difficult for them to qualify for the Champions League.

Chelsea hosted Liverpool at Stamford Bridge earlier this season on October 4, 2025. Chelsea won the match 2-1 with goals from Moises Caicedo and Estevao.
