Mind games from Maresca, who claimed that he once watched 38 Liverpool matches in one week before facing the Reds? Or an acknowledgement that Chelsea aren’t yet ready to truly push the Merseysiders all the way in a title race despite their Club World Cup triumph in the summer? Liverpool’s record away to Chelsea isn’t overly auspicious, though, having not won at the west London venue in five years. They were beaten 3-1 on their most recent visit in May, albeit with the significant caveat of having clinched the Premier League title a week earlier.
