Chelsea face a trip to Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Blues will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 49 and win only 11 of the 76 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in April 2009, as the visitors ran out cosy 1 - 3 winners in a Champions League match.
