Big game this one, but I think we're getting them at a good time, as they've not quite settled into any kind of rhythm under their new manager just yet.
10 points from 4 games? Winning their first 3 then drawing away at Swansea, a game they should have won comfortably. Not sure how you can say they have no rhythm? Well when you look at their squad you'd expect them to win all those games more comfort lay than they did. They got a late winner against WH from a player who arguably should have been sent off. Imo they've stuttered over the line in most of those games against lower to mid table sides, except for WH. So yeah I think they haven't quite got into their stride under Conte just yet.

I agree that it might be a good time to play them and Klopp has played them twice last season winning away and drawing at home when we may have had more than an eye on Europa League.
I hope we go at them and stuff them. I really dislike Chelsea as a club and they have 2 or 3 despicable players.
A win would be massive. If we were to be sat on 10 points after 5 games with the fixtures played that would be title winning form.
I would take a draw now but we are more than capable of winning there.

I am really dubious about this game.
The "men or mice" / hot and cold syndrome comes to mind from past seasons.
Can the players do the business week in and week out?
The team of last season was not up to it technically or mentally.
But this line-up should be able to do the business, so I am predicting 2-1 Liverpool, with a few red cards thrown in.

We'll do well to get a draw out of this but with Sideshow Bob coming in for Terry you never know. Atkinson is the ref for this one too so a red is Deffo coming.
That job interview was going so well until I realized I was fukked up on acid in the middle of a cornfield naked and talking to a scarecrow.

They had a very similar squad last season and didn't perform... It's not as simple as saying they have a great squad, so they should win all their games comfortably. You must know the Premiership doesn't work like that and you have to be a good side to string an unbeaten run together.

They're a good side when they play as a team, I don't think they've clicked just yet, nor do I think they've been tested this season yet. I'm hoping they won't click tomorrow either, but I do hope we'll be the first team to test them, and I hope we turn them over too.

These are the games Klopp excels at. you don't need the same level of tactical detail to exploit a team like Chelsea because they will leave space for our creative players to use their quality. Klopp the motivator can get our players fired up, make life difficult for Chelsea and nullify their threat and spring deadly attacks with our front man.
