Match Details

The match kicks off at 12:30 BST on Saturday, 9 May 2026 at Anfield. The fixture has been selected for live television coverage on TNT Sports. The Premier League has confirmed the match will be moved to 20:00 BST on the same day should Liverpool reach the Champions League semi-finals.

Anfield

Anfield has been Liverpool's home since 1892 and, following the completion of the Anfield Road Stand expansion, now holds 61,276 supporters. The stadium is renowned for its electrifying atmosphere, particularly on European nights and in matches against major rivals. The famous Kop end creates one of the most iconic backdrops in football.

Head-to-Head Record

This fixture is one of the great modern rivalries in English football. Across 200 meetings in all competitions, Liverpool lead with 87 wins to Chelsea's 67, with 46 draws. However, Chelsea have dominated recent encounters, winning the last two Premier League meetings between the sides. The Blues' 2-1 victory at Stamford Bridge in October 2025 made Enzo Maresca the first Chelsea manager to win consecutive matches against Liverpool since José Mourinho in 2014.

Last Meeting

Chelsea won a dramatic 2-1 encounter at Stamford Bridge on 4 October 2025. Moisés Caicedo opened the scoring in the 14th minute with a stunning 20-yard strike that gave Liverpool debutant goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili no chance. Cody Gakpo equalised in the 63rd minute following a clever lay-off from Alexander Isak, but the match appeared to be heading for a draw until the fifth minute of stoppage time. Marc Cucurella found substitute Estêvão at the back post, and the Brazilian teenager tapped home to spark wild scenes at the Bridge and hand Liverpool a third consecutive defeat.

Liverpool 2025/26 Season

Arne Slot's second season at Anfield has proven to be a difficult follow-up to his remarkable title-winning debut campaign. Having guided Liverpool to the 2024/25 Premier League title in his first year, expectations were high. The Reds have struggled for consistency this season, however, and currently sit fifth in the table as they fight for Champions League qualification. A 4-0 FA Cup quarter-final defeat to Manchester City and a 2-0 loss away to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League first leg have increased scrutiny on the Dutch manager. Mohamed Salah has confirmed he will leave at the end of the season, adding to a sense of transition at Anfield. Key signings Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz have shown glimpses of their quality despite the team's difficulties.

Chelsea 2025/26 Season

Liam Rosenior took charge at Stamford Bridge in January 2026, becoming the club's fifth permanent head coach since the BlueCo takeover in 2022. The 41-year-old arrived from sister club Strasbourg, whom he had led into European football for the first time in 19 years. Chelsea sit sixth in the Premier League, just one point behind Liverpool, and remain firmly in contention for Champions League qualification. The squad includes exciting talents such as Cole Palmer, Pedro Neto and rising Brazilian teenager Estêvão, who has already made his mark with important goals.
