Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool welcome Chelsea to Anfield on Thursday in a midweek classic that will have significant implications in the race for the top-four.
Liverpool will be looking for another confidence-building result after a 2-0 away win at Sheffield United last weekend stopped an unwanted run of four consecutive Premier League defeats.
As for Chelsea, the Blues remain undefeated since Thomas Tuchel's arrival, though they are now in a rather more tricky spell of matches, which started with their rather uneventful 0-0 draw with Manchester United last weekend.
At the start of the season, few would have predicted that come March, a fourth-placed Liverpool would be desperate to beat a Chelsea side managed by Tuchel, with rivals Everton level on points and with a game in hand.
Nonetheless, with three points paramount for both sides, Sportsmail takes you through the important information you need to know.

Liverpool vs Chelsea: Team news
Liverpool have received a timely boost with the return of both Alisson Becker and Fabinho, who Klopp has confirmed will both be in the squad against Chelsea.
Alisson was left out of the squad against Sheffield United on compassionate grounds following the death of his father, while Fabinho has missed the last four matches with a muscular injury.
Klopp also provided an update on summer signing Diogo Jota, who has not played since December.
The forward was due to make his return against Sheffield United but was kept at bay by illness. Klopp has now confirmed he is feeling better, however, though he did not say whether the striker will be in the squad.
As for Chelsea, Thomas Tuchel has confirmed that centre-back Thiago Silva remains sidelined, having been out injured since the Tottenham game over a month ago.

While the clash between Liverpool and Chelsea has major implications in the race for the top-four, it is also significant due to the rivalry of Jurgen Klopp and Thomas Tuchel.
The pair have played each other on 14 previous occasions, with Klopp coming out vastly on top, having won nine of those fixtures.
There have also been three draws, while Tuchel has won twice, including in their most recent encounter in the Champions League group stages back in 2018, in which Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain shared a win apiece.
However, the rivalry goes beyond just matches played against each other.
In fact, Tuchel has proceeded Klopp at both Mainz and Borussia Dortmund, now following him to the Premier League.
And though the current Chelsea boss had a better record than Klopp during his time with Mainz, he could not say the same throughout a lesser spell at Dortmund.
With significant parallels to be drawn between the two, comparisons have often been made, something that has irritated Tuchel on numerous occasions.
Liverpool vs Chelsea: The odds
Despite Liverpool's drop in form of late, they still come into Tuesday's Premier League clash as the favourites.
Klopp's men are favoured at 6/5 to win, while Chelsea are the underdogs at 11/5, with a draw at 13/5.
And with the pair currently chasing the Champions League, those comparisons will surely be drawn once more.

Unsurprisingly, the Premier League's top scorer Mohamed Salah is the favourite open the proceedings at 10/3, while Tammy Abraham is the favourite to break the deadlock for Chelsea at 6/1.
