Be in place for the start of Liverpool’s Premier League game against Chelsea, as the teams are likely to score early and perhaps often.
The Reds will host the Blues on Wednesday at Anfield in their penultimate game of the 2015-16 Premier League season. Liverpool beat Chelsea 3-1 at Stamford Bridge in October, and another victory over their southern rivals can lift the Reds into sixth place — a position that would earn them qualification to next season’s UEFA Europa League.
Wednesday’s game will mark Jurgen Klopp’s 50th game as Liverpool manager. The German took charge at Anfield in October, bringing a fresh attitude to the club.
Klopp is the fastest manager to reach 50 games in charge for #LFC– reaching the milestone in just 217 days. Hectic.

Klopp likely will welcome the returns of Nathaniel Clyne, Emre Can, James Milner, Dejan Lovren, Daniel Sturridge and Kolo Toure. Klopp rested the six of them in Sunday’s victory over Watford.
Chelsea’s disappointing season is heading to a close, but the game against Liverpool will capture attention nonetheless. Manager Guus Hiddink will field a makeshift team, as John Terry is suspended and Diego Costa, Loic Remy, Pedro and Kurt Zuma all will miss the game because of injuries.
