Chelsea may be a goal down at Anfield but the Blues have been knocking on the door this afternoon.

Enzo Maresca’s side conceded a penalty midway through the half that Mohamed Salah converted.

But the west London club have let that effect them with Nicolas Jackson and Cole Palmer both going close.

In fact, according to Opta, Chelsea have had 18 touches in the Liverpool box, the most of any side in the Premier League at Anfield since Southampton four and a half years ago.

A remarkable statistic but the most important one reads one goal to nil.
