Hello and welcome to LIVE updates of what could be a significant clash in this season's Premier League title race. Liverpool host Chelsea hoping to maintain their push for a first championship since 1990. The encounter will no doubt conjure up memories of the last time these sides met in a similar scenario, when the Merseysiders saw their title hopes come unstuck back in 2014. Jose Mourinho's men upset Steven Gerrard and Co then - but can Eden Hazard inspire the Blues to ensure lightning strikes twice today and bolster their own top four bid? Kick off 16:30 BST.
