Chelsea vs Liverpool
Chelsea host Liverpool at Stamford Bridge on Saturday 5 December 2026, marking Xabi Alonso's first competitive meeting with his former club as an opposing manager. Alonso spent five years at Liverpool as a player before moving into coaching, adding a personal edge to this early clash of his Chelsea tenure.
The most recent meeting between the two sides went Chelsea's way — a dramatic stoppage-time winner from teenager Estêvão at Stamford Bridge in October 2025 handed Liverpool a third consecutive defeat at the time. With Chelsea focused purely on domestic football this season and Liverpool now under Andoni Iraola after a difficult 2025/26 campaign, both sides will see this as an important early marker.
