In Jürgen Klopp’s words, Liverpool took a small step in a goalless draw with Chelsea, but the extent of the Reds’ true progress will be revealed by their second visit to the Amex stadium in two weeks. It will be.
Relying less on the highline and switching to fresher players in Stefan Bajetic and Naby Keita (replacing Fabinho and Jordan Henderson) will give a midfielder in desperate need of fresh ideas a fresh start. I breathed in.
Further fresh legs are still unlikely as we’re nearing the end of the January window, but hopefully the team can prove their worth with a formidable second half of the season result that sees the Reds. At least retain Champions League status.

Ahead of Alisson Becker between the sticks, Klopp nodded to Joel Matip and Ibrahima Konate in the center of the backline.
With a full week of rest between now and next weekend’s visit to Molineux, the German tactician chose to keep Stefan Bisetich, Naby Keita and Thiago Alcantara in midfield. Not surprising.
Harvey Elliott is back in Starting XI, supported by Mo Salah and Cody Gakpo.
