Or have Frank Lampard's Blues sealed the deal. Our original article and full details of how to watch a Chelsea vs Liverpool live stream today can be found below.
Today's huge Chelsea vs Liverpool kick-off is now upon us and there's little to separate the two sides on paper. Jurgen Klopp's men saw their unbeaten league run end at the weekend, so the Reds will want to return to winning ways at Stamford Bridge in this crunch FA Cup 5th round tie – don't miss a goal, tackle, or controversial VAR challenge by watching all the action as it happens with our Chelsea vs Liverpool live stream guide.
The Merseyside club have looked decidedly fallible in recent weeks, with Saturday's 3-0 defeat to Watford coming after narrow wins over relegation battlers Norwich and West Ham in the Premier League. Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid also got the better of Liverpool in the Champions League, so the pressure could finally be getting to the Reds as we reach the business end of the season.
Hosts Chelsea have also been experiencing a sticky patch. The Blues played out a disappointing 2-2 draw away at Bournemouth over the weekend having been thrashed 3-0 by Bayern Munich mid-week in the Champions League. In fact, they've gone eight games without a clean sheet and have let in at least two goals in five of their last seven matches.
With a raft of injuries, Blues boss Frank Lampard will be playing something of a second string out of necessity. Christian Pulisic, N’golo Kante, Callum Hudson-Odoi, and Tammy Abraham all unavailable due to injury, so a number of Chelsea's starting XI won't be able to turn out as usual. In addition, Jorginho is suspended, so it will be interest to see how Chelsea's lineup takes shape.
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has used the tournament thus far as an opportunity to rotate his squad and will likely do so again here, despite Sunday's shock result. Can Liverpool keep their treble bid on track, or will Lampard's Chelsea end another Red run? They did just that the last time the two sides met in the competition – the 2012 FA Cup final, which Chelsea won 2-1 thanks to a match-winning goal from club legend Didier Drogba.
