Chelsea vs Liverpool Tickets

If there were two teams that did not get on with each other despite being hundreds of miles away from each other, then Chelsea vs Liverpool is a fixture that makes it rather evident. There has been plenty of history between the sides, with the 2000s has been a point where the screw has been turned into a direction whereby things have been taken up a notch further.

The Blues have plenty of history behind them, with a lot of the more successful moments have come in recent years compared to when they were first formed. With Roman Abramovich’s riches, the west London outfit has managed to lift no fewer than five top-flight titles, as well as at least one famous Champions League title as well.

Liverpool are, of course, one of the most recognisable clubs in the world as well, as they are one of the most successful to have ever played the English game. A number of trophies have been won through the years, both domestically and on the European stage and meetings between the two have always been fiery affairs.

Although only the ninth-biggest venue in the Premier League, Stamford Bridge is not a stadium that many have joy with. Chelsea has turned their 41,837 capacity home into a fortress and one that has become an incredibly difficult hunting ground for their opponents.

Chelsea versus Liverpool has managed to produce some iconic classics over time and have had a huge effect on the Premier League in the process as they both add something more to the fixture list than they previously did.

One fixture that was played out at Stamford Bridge that remains fresh in the memory of the visitors will have been the 2002/03 Premier League clash where the winners would secure Champions League football the following season. A goal from Jesper Gronkjaer was enough to secure all three points for the hosts, although it was not quite enough to save Claudio Ranieri from the chop.

Jose Mourinho arrived, with Rafa Benitez arriving as his opposite number, which led to the increased and intense rivalry between the two sides. However, it has been hugely unpredictable in recent times, with both sides extremely capable of taking all three points as both have proven to be clinical in previous meetings.

The likes of Gianfranco Zola, Didier Drogba, Frank Lampard and Eden Hazard have all excelled for the Blues, whereas Mohamed Salah - a former Chelsea man - Jordan Henderson, Michael Owen and Steven Gerrard have also caused the hosts problems at Stamford Bridge with some wonder-goals in past meetings.

With two of the Premier League’s biggest sides going up against one another, it would only be right to expect a mouth-watering clash between the two heavyweights when they take to the field. Some truly special moments can happen between the two sides, therefore making this a match that must be experienced in person at Stamford Bridge.
