This season it has been for the other Premier League clubs: “Shit, we’re going to play Liverpool this weekend!”. The Reds could be hailed as Premier League champions after the 5-1 thrashing of Tottenham at Anfield. On Sunday, it was Chelsea who would face Liverpool, points that for Chelsea could mean with or without a Champions League ticket.
The battle for Champions League tickets is tougher than anyone expected. Because it’s not just Liverpool and three or four clubs that can secure their tickets to the CL in the Premier League. With three games to go, there are seven poor points separating Arsenal in 2nd place and Aston Villa in 7th place. Chelsea are very much in a position to take one of the CL places, the timing to face Liverpool turned out to be perfect.

3-1 win for Chelsea! After the game, Liverpool’s Harvey Elliot was asked how this could happen.
-I think it’s hard not to think about what we have achieved this season. If people had put themselves in our shoes, I think everyone would have relaxed and been deliberate, and all the stress that has been there during the season with the championship coming, we have now dealt with that,” Elliot explains to the club’s website.
Chelsea grabbed three points from the champions club who were not quite done with their celebrations after the Tottenham game. Chelsea supporters thank you and bow.
