Chelsea host newly-crowned champions Liverpool at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League this weekend.
Enzo Maresca’s side are targeting a fourth consecutive win in all competitions as the Blues battle for Champions League qualification and Europa Conference League success. On Thursday, the West Londoners took control of their European semi-final with Swedish side Djurgardens, winning 4-1 away from home.

Chelsea are also fifth in the Premier League table, a position that will earn Champions League qualification. However, the visit of Liverpool begins a challenging run-in.
Liverpool wrapped up the Premier League title with a 5-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur last Sunday. Arne Slot has suggested he will offer opportunities to his squad players over the run-in, with Liverpool’s title success confirmed with four games to spare.
