Chelsea vs Liverpool Highlights
Liverpool claim draw at Stamford Bridge in Chelsea’s first game since Graham Potter’s sacking; Reece James and Kai Havertz had goals disallowed.
Chelsea were once again let down by their wayward finishing in their first game since Graham Potter’s sacking as Liverpool hung onto a 0-0 draw at Stamford Bridge.
But it was a case of the new boss being the same as the old one for Chelsea, who showed the same failings in front of goal that hamstrung Potter’s regime.
Chelsea have now built up an expected goals total of 4.28 and had 39 shots over their last two games, yet somehow conspired to take one point and score zero goals across those 180 minutes.
The Blues’ woeful finishing prevented Potter’s reign from ever getting off the ground and the theme continued under Bruno, who took charge of his first professional game after previously spending the entirety of his four-year coaching career under Potter.
Despite the turmoil surrounding Stamford Bridge, Chelsea did start the game well, with Joao Felix and Mateo Kovacic being denied by desperate Liverpool defending, although both should have taken their chances to strike at goal sooner.
Alisson then denied Kai Havertz at close range before Reece James saw a crisp volley ruled out for a marginal offside against Enzo Fernandez in the build up.
Kepa Arrizabalaga enjoyed a quiet evening as Liverpool’s miserable away record showed no signs of ending, although he was called into action to push away Joe Gomez’s powerful effort just before half-time.

The second half began in a similar vein to the first, with Kovacic again spurning a glorious chance before Havertz had a weak shot saved by Alisson, before seeing the rebound trickle into the net off his arm, with VAR cutting short Chelsea’s celebrations.
Chelsea seemed to lose belief that they would ever score a legitimate goal after that latest failure, with the second half meandering to a conclusion in front of a subdued set of supporters, both sets of which are used to witnessing games involving higher stakes and higher quality than this.

Klopp on postmatch interview
“This was not the most spectacular 0-0 I ever saw,” Klopp said. “I saw two of them last year between Liverpool and Chelsea in the two finals – it was absolutely insane.

“Very similar teams tonight but completely different football, because of a completely different level of confidence for both teams.
“This was the way we had to fight again, the way we have to start again our development. A little step in the right direction.”
Liverpool’s campaign does not get any easier, with league leaders Arsenal next up on Sunday at Anfield, live on, as Klopp’s side bid to close the seven-point gap on the top four.
“If we are not fourth, then we want to be fifth,” said Klopp, before conceding: “At the moment I don’t even know where we are – it’s not interesting.
“We have another 10 games to play and the next one is Arsenal – I’m not interested in the other nine. If we are difficult to beat against Arsenal we can win this game. If not, Arsenal will just go over us.”
