Chelsea will be looking to avoid equalling a Premier League club record when they square off against Liverpool on Tuesday evening.

On the back of the defeat to Aston Villa at the weekend, it is all change at Stamford Bridge with Graham Potter having been removed from his position as head coach.

Bruno Saltor, a member of Potter's coaching staff, has been placed in interim charge for a clash which Chelsea realistically need to win in order to remain in the hunt for European qualification through the Premier League.

The West Londoners currently sit four points adrift of their upcoming opponents, who have played a game fewer, and Bruno has been handed responsibility for trying to provide the club with a much-needed lift.

However, Chelsea head into the contest with the Merseyside giants looking to avoid replicating just two other Blues sides in the Premier League era.

Chelsea have already failed to score in five of their 14 home fixtures in the top flight this campaign, four of which have come since the turn of the year.

Should Bruno's side not find the back of the net versus Liverpool, it will represent just the third time since the Premier League was created that the club have failed to score in six top-flight matches at their home ground.

The first occasion came all the way back in 1994-95, but Chelsea also achieved the unwanted feat during 2020-21, a season which saw Frank Lampard and Thomas Tuchel hold the reins at different stages.

As well as Liverpool, Chelsea also have Stamford Bridge fixtures with Brighton & Hove Albion, Brentford, Nottingham Forest and Newcastle United before the end of the season.

History is not necessarily in their favour ahead of this contest with each of the last three meetings between these two sides ending in goalless draws, the EFL Cup and FA Cup finals in question also going to extra time.

In total, five draws have been played out in succession, with the last time that their was a victor in this fixture over 90 minutes coming when Chelsea won 1-0 at Anfield in March 2021.

Liverpool also have a record in their sights as they bid to bounce back from losing 4-1 at Manchester City three days ago.
