Chelsea draw goalless with Liverpool
Chelsea replaced the general, while Liverpool replaced up to six players compared to the main squad in the last match. But the results on the field were still not as good as the two teams. Chelsea for the second consecutive game without a goal at Stamford Bridge, and Liverpool have not been able to break the circuit for four games without a win.
Based on expected goals (xG), the away team will feel lucky to have ended a three-match losing streak. Liverpool has an xG of just 0.38, while Chelsea has a 2.29. The home team missed a series of delicious opportunities, and were denied two goals. Chelsea can not rise to the top half of the scoreboard, and with Liverpool, the hope of attending the Champions League next season is also less after the 0-0 draw.
Under the guidance of interim coach Bruno Saltor, N'Golo Kante returned to the main squad after eight months of convalescence. On the other side of the front line, coach Jurgen Klopp gave the wings of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Andy Robertson as well as two attacking stars Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo as reserves. With the squad not the strongest, Liverpool was soon cornered and only escaped defeat thanks to the ungainly Chelsea players.
