Keita vs Jorginho: The key battles Liverpool must win to beat Chelsea
Jurgen Klopp vs Frank Lampard
The most influential battle in the fixture has to be between the two managers – who have created a spark in the two clubs’ competitive rivalry which in the previous years had lessened slightly.
Who can forget the famous touchline bout between Lampard and Klopp’s staff? Who can forget Frank’s comments in the media afterwards?
The Chelsea boss still can’t resist a dig in the media, even when Jurgen Klopp’s factual statement wasn’t even a cuss at Lampard and Roman Abramovich for spending as much as they have done in the transfer market.
The two will battle it out – with Klopp looking to win his fourth league game in six at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues were Klopp’s first victim in the Premier League with a 3-1 victory in October 2015, and wins in 16/17 and 19/20 followed with just one defeat, in 2017/18.
The two, like the fixture itself, will be as competitive as possible. A fiery fixture awaits.
