Chelsea's Premier League opening day record is bad news for Liverpool
The Premier League is back and opening fixtures don't come much bigger than Chelsea vs Liverpool.
While clubs in the top six are separated for matchday one, the Blues' disastrous season last term means that the 12th-place finishers were offered no such protection upon fixture release day.
The Blues have something of a reputation as opening day specialists, having won 20 of their 31 season-openers, losing just five times. With a win percentage of 64.5 per cent, Chelsea's hopes of victory could be boosted by Pochettino's own impressive record.
