- Liverpool host Chelsea in a crunchy Premier League fixture this weekend
Chelsea travel to Merseyside to play Liverpool on Saturday, November 25, in a tantalizing Premier League fixture and both managers have been talking tough ahead of the fixture.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has reacted to Antonio Conte's earlier claim of Chelsea have a tight fixture schedule after the blues made a long trip back from Azerbijan where they play Fc Qarabag.
"Now we have to travel five hours and a half and then rest one day and then prepare the game against Liverpool, another big game like Manchester City," Conte said after the 4-0 win on Wednesday evening.

Klopp said while he understood the complaints, he did not believe it would have a negative impact on the visitors.
"I really get what Antonio is talking about," Klopp said. "I heard about it, but maybe he forgot they had the best Christmas schedule last year.

"Everyone played every two days and they had 12 days to play three games. It is the same situation this year and I don’t know how the Premier League will explain this. Now they have one day less."
Liverpool have been in good form in the League winning four straight games after their disappointing display against Tottenham at Wembley but they will be hosting a Chelsea team who are also in a good form themselves, scoring eight goals in their last two matches.
