Liverpool's poor record against rivals opens door for tired Chelsea

There has been some good news for Liverpool in what has largely been a week to forget for Jurgen Klopp's team.

Chelsea, Saturday's Premier League opponents at Anfield, landed in London at 4.15 a.m. on Thursday morning following their Champions League victory against Qarabag in Azerbaijan -- the squad then arrived back at their Cobham training base at 5 a.m. before having to drive home.

So even after throwing away a 3-0 lead to draw 3-3 against Sevilla 24 hours earlier, Liverpool can at least draw a positive from the fact that Antonio Conte's men will be in anything but optimum condition when they take to the field on Merseyside.
