Liverpool and Chelsea square up on Thursday night as the top six battle heats up in the English Premier League.

It’s an Anfield battle that pits sixth against fifth, not to mention German coaching duo Jurgen Klopp and Thomas Tuchel.

Klopp’s outgoing EPL champions needed a fixture against listless bottom club Sheffield United to end a horror run of four straight losses.

Sunday’s 2-0 win at Bramall Lane put an end to that particular hex and soothed a few nerves around Merseyside, albeit with neighbours Everton winning on Monday night to go level on points with the Reds.

The gap to Manchester City at the top has become 19 points in the blink of an eye but forget about that, an awkward campaign has become all about securing a berth in the top four.

Not losing ground on Wednesday’s visitors wouldn’t do any harm, with Chelsea coming up to the north west off the back of consecutive draws.

The Blues were as tight as a submarine door – and not nearly expansive enough for some – in drawing 0-0 at home to Manchester United at the weekend.

It followed a 1-1 tie with pepped up Southampton at St Mary’s Stadium the previous Saturday, leaving the Blues below West Ham and Leicester in the EPL standings.

The home side’s notorious absentee list wasn’t helped at the weekend by the addition of keeper Alisson, who was given compassionate leave following the sudden death of his father in his native Brazil.

It remains to be seen whether he feels able to return, with rookie stopper Caoimhin Kelleher also a doubt thanks to injury.

Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip are all familiar misses in defence, with continuing doubts around Fabinho not helping either.

Jordan Henderson is also ruled out but Klopp just about has Diogo Jota ready to return to freshen things up further up the pitch.

The Blues are in a far healthier position, with Thiago Silva nearing his return to full fitness at the back.

Callum Hudson-Odoi is a slight injury concern but Tuchel has plenty of options going forward with the likes of Kai Havertz, Timo Werner, Tammy Abraham and Christian Pulisic all jostling for places.
