What is at stake for Liverpool and Chelsea?

Liverpool know that a win on Saturday will likely be enough to secure Champions League football for next season, but they still have to find a way to win without the majority of their attacking talent.

Chelsea may be the worst form team in the Premier League at the moment, but Calum McFarlane will draw confidence from the fact that Slot's Reds were the only top-flight side that failed to beat Igor Tudor's Tottenham Hotspur.

If the Merseysiders fail to win this time around, Slot would face new levels of pressure from an already disheartened fanbase, not to mention that the door would be opened to the likes of Bournemouth and Brentford in the race for the top five.

Meanwhile, the Blues may have taken a rapid descent down the table, but they could yet qualify for Europe - McFarlane's men are only four points behind the sixth-placed Cherries - and a win on Saturday would be a major boost on that front.
