Liverpool face a trip to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Reds will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 36 and win only 15 of the 64 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in May 2003, the Blues carving out a narrow 2 - 1 victory in a Premiership match.
