Liverpool host Chelsea at Anfield this weekend as the two Premier League giants meet for a major Premier League clash.
Jurgen Klopp is starting to feel the pressure Graham Potter has been under in recent weeks and now the two bosses are under fire.
Liverpool and Chelsea are nowhere near the title race this season
The Reds slipped to ninth in the table after losing 3-0 to Brighton last time out, while Potter’s side sit one place below them on goal difference.
However, the Blues went on to win again against Crystal Palace at the weekend thanks to Kai Havertz’s second-half winner.
At the midpoint of the season, the two giants are sitting in the middle of the table and this game could have a huge impact on the trajectory of the rest of their campaigns.

Liverpool vs Chelsea: What has been said?
Chelsea boss Potter gave his opinion on the signing of Mudryk after the Blues announced the signing during their win against Crystal Palace.
“He’s a young player with a great future,” Potter said.
“He has an exciting quality in the last third, very fast and direct, he attacks from the bottom line, he can go out through wide areas but he also hits the goal.
“He’s a really exciting player and I think our fans will like him.”
