"Chelsea are seeking a first win in four Premier League matches when Liverpool are their visitors on Saturday. The Blues spurned a lead to lose 3-1 at home to Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday but beat Benfica 1-0 at Stamford Bridge in the Champions League on Tuesday. Liverpool dropped points for the first time this season with a 2-1 defeat at Crystal Palace last Saturday and lost 1-0 at Galatasaray in the Champions League three days later."
"Since I joined the club [in June 2024], every time I have spoken about Benoit I've always said he's an important player and a very good player. Unfortunately, he's been injured a few times. But before the last one he was almost playing every game at the Club World Cup. Now he is back and that's good news for us, his teammates and especially for him."
