Karen: A poor showing from the champions. Folded like a cheap tent in a soft breeze. Chelsea had the intention of winning, gave Liverpool a rough ride and despite having the most possession failed to rise to the occasion. Poor performance, - very poor.

Chelsea secured a 3–1 victory over Liverpool, putting the Blues in prime position to finish their Premier League campaign in the Champions League places.

Liverpool play their first match as Premier League champions as they visit a Chelsea side who are desperate for three points to help their Champions League push. The Reds sealed the title last weekend as they thrashed Tottenham Hotspur 5-1 at Anfield and will receive a guard of honour at Stamford Bridge after Enzo Maresca said the Blues would respect “tradition”.
