Jurgen Klopp was optimistic about winning his 1000th game as a manager and his 411th as the Reds’ coach as they welcomed Chelsea to Anfield. However, there was no happy ending as his team could only settle for a 0-0 result, which still leaves the Reds at mid-table.
The German made five changes to the team that lost at Brighton last weekend, as Stefan Bajcetic made his first Premier League start in the crucial encounter. The Blues, however, started the game without their new mega-signing, Mykhailo Mudryk.
In the third minute, Kai Havertz thought he had given Chelsea the perfect start after getting the rebound after Thiago Silva’s effort came back off the woodwork, but VAR chalked off the attempt for offside.
