In August, ten-men Chelsea held on to claim a point at Anfield. Kai Havertz gave Tuchel's side the lead in the 22nd minute with a glancing header past Alisson.
Liverpool were awarded a penalty on the stroke of halftime when Reece James blocked Sadio Mane's shot with his hand.
Mohamed Salah tucked away the resulting spot kick, as James was also shown a red card but the ten men dug deep to come away with a point.
Chelsea were also resilient in the two sides' next meeting in January, coming back from a two-goal deficit to draw 2-2. In a game where all four goals were scored in the first half, Mane and Salah put Liverpool into a 2-0 lead after 26 minutes. Liverpool came on top in the League Cup final, as an entertaining 120 minutes culminated in a penalty shoot-out where goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga missed the decisive spot kick.
