Liverpool have been on a tight schedule lately, mainly against strong teams.

After playing Atletico Madrid away in midweek, they had to return to England to challenge Chelsea in London, making it two tough away games in a row.

At present, Chelsea and Liverpool are tied on 20 points, Chelsea occupy the top spot on goal difference, and Liverpool is in second place, which is a real battle for the top spot, and whoever wins can open up a three-point gap with the opponent.

Heynckes is in talks with his assistant coach about the game, Heynckes said: "Liverpool are strong in all aspects of their starting line-up and when Fernando Torres returns, we have the quality to compete for any title, only the left wing-back position of Dosena has not been satisfactory and Aurelio can only barely cope, I am going to start Gareth Bale for this game, his pace is impressive." ”

Assistant coach Peter Herman reminded: "Our right-back Arbeloa is a strong full-back and Gareth is obviously that type of full-back, if both sides are strong and weak full-backs, will there be problems defensively? ”

Heynckes said: "Don't worry, Mascherano is back, he's solid in the midfield position, he knows when to fill in, it's too much of a problem. ”

Heynckes continued: "And Riera, he does have good skills on his feet, but he is always a bit out of tune with the team, and I plan to replace Luka Modric. ”

The match between Chelsea and Liverpool in the ninth round of the Premier League is gradually coming.

The battle for the top spot in the Premier League naturally attracted the attention of all over Europe, and with Liu Ting's recovery, no one doubted his ability anymore, and he temporarily withstood the crisis that could come with Torres' absence.

Chelsea are also full of injuries at the moment, with Didier Drogba, Ballack, Essien, Joe Cole and others on the injury list.

If there is one team that has had the most grievances with Chelsea since Roman Abramovich took charge of Chelsea, it must be Liverpool.

In the summer of 04, Mourinho and Benitez were in charge of Chelsea and Liverpool respectively, both of them were young coaches, and they were naturally compared by the media, plus Mourinho's constant mouth attacks, the two soon had a conflict, in the first year of coaching, Mourinho won the Premier League, but was eliminated by Liverpool in the Champions League semifinals, and Liverpool also won the Champions League that year.

The next two teams meet every year, and they meet in the Champions League every year.

In the 04/05 season, Liverpool eliminated Chelsea in the Champions League semi-finals thanks to Luis Garcia's goal, and Mourinho did not admit the goal after the game, saying that it was a ghost ball that did not exist, and it was indeed a goal-line suspense of the year.

In the 05/06 season, Liverpool failed to win the top four in the Premier League last season but won the Champions League, and took a wild card to participate, UEFA stipulated that Liverpool did not apply the rule that the group stage does not meet in the same league, so Liverpool and Chelsea were 'coincidentally' placed in the same group in the group stage, which is the only time in the history of the Champions League that there are two teams from the same league in the same group. Liverpool and Chelsea drew 0-0 over two legs in the group stage, and in the end, Liverpool still beat Chelsea by one point to win the first place in the group, and Chelsea, who was squeezed into the second place in the round of 16, met the Champions League champion Barcelona and was eliminated.

In the 06/07 season, it was the Champions League semi-finals where Liverpool and Chelsea met, the score of Liverpool and Chelsea in both legs was 1:0, winning one goal each at their home stadium, and the aggregate score was 1:1 in extra time, and Liverpool won the penalty shootout to advance to the final.

This is also the Champions League feud between Liverpool and Chelsea during the Mourinho period, Mourinho has always been unconvinced, he claimed that he lost once on a ghost ball and once on penalties, saying that he did not lose to Benitez.

In the 07/08 season, that is, last season, Mourinho was sacked by Abou a few rounds after the start of the season, but Chelsea still met Liverpool in the Champions League semi-finals, the score was 1:1 over both legs, and finally went to extra time, in which Chelsea defeated Liverpool 2:1 and eliminated Liverpool 4:3 on aggregate to enter the Champions League final for the first time.

If nothing changes, Liverpool will meet Chelsea in the quarter-finals of the Champions League this season, with Chelsea knocking out Liverpool. However, now that Chelsea's Jose Mourinho and Liverpool's Benitez are gone, UEFA doesn't know if Liverpool and Chelsea will be drawn together without the two managers who provoked the feud in the first place.

Every year in the Champions League, Liverpool plays Chelsea, and the guys at UEFA are not annoying.

Chelsea captain John Terry stepped up first and claimed in front of reporters: "We are never afraid of a team that has never won a Premier League title. ”

Gerrard was quick to say in front of reporters: "We are confident of ending his unbeaten run for teams that have never won the Champions League. ”

Chelsea currently hold an astonishing record, having not lost at home since Jose Mourinho took charge in '04, and are now unbeaten in 74 home games in all competitions, 86 at home in the Premier League and 106 at home in England.

Those numbers make Chelsea's home turf, Stamford Bridge, a veritable home of hell, and it's tough to walk away from a win.

Heynckes also stepped up to cheer the players on: "Fernando Torres' injury is worrying but we are more than capable of beating Chelsea away, Liu is well integrated into the team, Liverpool have a lot of good players, we won't be intimidated by those numbers, the record is ready to be broken from the moment it is born." ”

On 26 October, Chelsea's home game against Liverpool arrived.

It's a game that will be watched in the spotlight and everyone is concerned about whether Chelsea's unbeaten run at home will be broken, about this battle for the top of the table, and about who will win the two teams that are currently in the league with six wins and two draws.

This time, Zhan Jun partnered with Liu Jianhong again to explain the broadcast of Painxun.

Zhan Jun said: "Liu Ting has found the feeling of the Premier League, and his performance is getting better and better with 1 goal and 2 assists in the last two games. ”

'The starting line-ups for both sides have come out, with goalkeeper Petr Cech for the home team and Ashley Cole, John Terry, Carvalho and Bosingwa at the back four; In midfield were Frank Lampard, Malouda, Deco and Mikel, with Ballack, Essien and Joe Cole all missing through injury; Up front, Didier Drogba is also injured and is partnered by Nicolas Anelka and Salomon Kalou. ”

'Liverpool had goalkeeper Reina on their side, and Gareth Bale, Carragher, Ague and Arbeloa in the back four, with Bale starting for the first time in place of Dosena and Aurelio; The midfield four were Xavi Alonso, Mascherano, Steven Gerrard and Luka Modric, who also made his first league start for Liverpool; The two strikers are Liu Ting and Kuyt. ”

Chelsea kicked off first, with the Blues, who were missing a number of key players, making some tentative attacks.

Now Chelsea's head coach is Scolari, who has led Brazil to win the World Cup, and is still playing the European Cup with the Portuguese national team in the summer.

Scolari came to Chelsea and demanded that Chelsea change their previous 'ugly' style of play and play beautiful football, in fact, he wanted to establish his prestige.

The two sides tested each other for 10 minutes and began to fight with real knives and guns.

'Frank Lampard...... Straight plug !! Anelka got the ball and got up to ...... Knock on the door!! ”

"Agg, Ag blocked this dangerous shot with his thigh!"

In the 15th minute, Anelka's shot was blocked by Agg.

Kuyt countered with the ball and gave it to Liu Ting on the left, Liu Ting dribbled the ball and cut inside...... Knock on the door!! ”

"Beam!! The shot hit the crossbar and bounced back to be cleared by Terry. ”

In the 19th minute, Liu Ting's in-cut shot hit the crossbar.

Liu Ting's shot was very powerful, and it hit the crossbar with a 'bang', as if there was an echo, and Stamford Bridge fell silent for a moment, and many Chelsea fans were startled with their heads in their hands, and soon gave Liu Ting a huge boo.

Liu Ting also felt good when he shot the goal, thinking that this shot would go in, but God was still unwilling to let the ball go in.

'Chelsea corner, Deco takes the corner, Terry ...... It's high!! ”

"Terry got the spot, got the ball, but the ball went just over the crossbar!"

In the 26th minute, John Terry's header went high from a Chelsea corner.

'Frank Lampard dribbled in front of the box and Carragher tackled Lampard.

"The referee gave it in favour, Kalaw got the ball into the box and fired a low shot!!"

"Reina...... Strike!! Reina confiscated the ball steadily!! ”

In the 30th minute, Kalaw's low shot was confiscated by Reina.

"Modric...... Break down the wing, past Ashley Cole, cross into the box!! ”

Liu Ting...... Shovel shot! ”

"Cech...... Meritorious service!! Liu Ting's tackle from the ground was already fast, and Cech reacted faster and poked the ball out of the line with a single tiptoe. ”

'Luka Modric was doing very well and was not afraid of a team like Chelsea for the first time.

In the 38th minute, Liu Ting's down-to-the-ground tackle was blocked by Petr Cech.

The two sides attacked each other and the tempo was fast, but neither of them could score.

That was the end of the first half, 45 minutes.
