Chelsea vs. Liverpool, Premier League: Live blog; highlights

Welcome to the new season, hopefully a better season than last season.

We’ve got new players, new coaches, new ideas. Could be fun!

The first test is not an easy one.

Pochettino has seemingly gone for a bit of a surprise, with a three-man backline and wing-backs, a la previous coaches. But we’ll see how exactly this lines up.
