Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel expects a massive test at Liverpool today.
Like their visitors, Liverpool have won their opening two games without conceding a goal. Virgil van Dijk and Joel Matip are reunited in central defence and the fans are back, sure to give their title rivals a hostile reception.
"A different proposition for sure," said Tuchel. "That's not excuses, it's the reality and we should not hide from it. Liverpool with Van Dijk is a different Liverpool than without him.
"Him together with Matip is a huge upgrade to March and spectators can be a big factor at Anfield. It's one of the toughest challenges you can face in European football.
"I have the feeling that we're ready for the fight on that level."
