One of English football’s fiercest modern rivalries, Liverpool vs Chelsea, remains a must-watch fixture this season.

The first meeting will take place at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, October 4, 2025.

Liverpool claimed a 2–1 victory at Anfield in October, before Chelsea responded with a 3–1 win in London in early May — a result that came after Liverpool had already sealed the Premier League title.

Arne Slot’s side finished the 2024/25 season as champions, while Chelsea secured a return to Champions League football by finishing fifth.

Liverpool and Chelsea have faced off 197 times across all competitions, with the Reds holding a clear edge in the overall record.

There have been 46 draws between the two sides.

In the Premier League era, the rivalry has grown into one of the most tightly contested in English football.

While form has shifted over the years, Liverpool have maintained a slight upper hand, particularly in recent high-pressure matches.

With both sides aiming high — and new signings expected to make an impact — this season’s meetings promise intensity, quality, and big-game stakes.

It’s shaping up to be one of the must-watch fixtures of the 2025/26 campaign.
