On wednesday night, the blues will fly to anfield, where they will face off in next month’s carabao cup final. Liverpool, who are unbeaten at home this season, will play their first premier league match since klopp’s blockbuster departure last week. Andy robertson, a left back, has praised the players for giving the manager a ‘deserved’ send-off by fighting on all fronts until the end of the season. A win over chelsea will keep the reds’ lead at the top of the table ahead of a critical time. Three points aren’t likely to come easy, however, with liverpool’s win rate against chelsea in recent outings being mixed. Pochettino, the manager of liverpool wanderers, is also keen to stifle the ‘party’.
The argentine told reporters in his pre-match press conference: “it’s a special game for him,” he said. It’s going to be something special until the end. It’s going to be a party every time they play at anfield, to celebrate, and to show him all the love they feel for him, the fans feel for him, and i think it’s deserved. “but we are still thinking we should go there and win the game,” he said. Sorry, but we don’t want to be involved or be part of the celebration. We need to perform well and win the game,” pochettino said. the then chelsea manager made a similar promise back in april 2014, when he promised to “destroy liverpool’s party” ahead of a crucial match in the title run-in.
Chelsea won 2-0 at anfield on the day, with liverpool winning the premier league crown unbeaten. Chelsea is tenth in the standings ten years ahead of wednesday’s match, and they have several big injuries worries. Levi colwill will not be fit to play for the reds, according to pochettino, while reece james, robert sanchez, romeo lavia, and nicolas jackson are also missing.
