History of the Chelsea v Liverpool fixture

Chelsea prepare to entertain Liverpool at Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Blues are clearly on top, having won 37 and lost only 16 of the 68 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Stamford Bridge was earlier this season, when they played out a goalless draw in a Champions League match.
