Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp: “I can say nothing about Chelsea's position or whatever, we have nothing to do but to try and win here.
“Fair dos, they are in a good position. They are in a good moment, and that means something, but not everything.
“A lot of people are thinking at the moment it is difficult for Liverpool – and it is difficult – but not impossible.”
Chelsea boss Antonio Conte: "It could be a hard hit mentally for them.
"It's important to win this type of game, increase you confidence, take three points from a rival.
"I hope to change the result if you compare the first game and the first part of the season."
