A history of Chelsea v Liverpool in pictures

The Premier League title rivals have made impressive starts to the season.

Chelsea host Liverpool in the Premier League on Saturday.

Jurgen Klopp's Reds travel to Stamford Bridge top of the table following a 100 per cent start to the season, while Maurizio Sarri's Blues are just two points behind.

The London club came from behind to win 2-1 at Anfield on Wednesday when the two sides met in the Carabao Cup.

Here, we take a look back at a selection of previous encounters and memorable moments in Press Association pictures.
